Literally made payment 7hrs ago and still my services haven’t been restored. The reason for this particular review is to highlight, they send out false emails saying it will be reconnected with in 2 hrs and no reconnection. They don’t even have a line to where you can communicate with someone about their error. You literally have to wait til the open the next day. I nor my kids have eaten since I’ve gotten off work last night. I haven’t slept waiting for the lights to come back on. And here I am trying to contact someone since 3am. Emails don’t work, called on or and they said PAYLESS HASNT SENT A RECONNECTION ORDER. Why be quick to require payment but not quick to provide the service paid for. 0/5 stars…. I only choose 1 star because I had to choose someone

I just signed up for Payless power a week ago my bill is already $50 which means that it’s gonna be $200 a month. I’m paying over $.18 per kilowatt hour when the average of my area is $.13 per kilo hour. This is making me rethink to go with a different energy company instead.
You guys are horrible and I can’t wait to change company.

We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you feel. Published on October 20, 2025
Unreliable. Use this company as a quick fix & switch as quick as possible. The rates are high, customer service sucks. The website glitches & won’t let me in to pay my bill. The automated system won’t let me pay with a new card. It literally said “it doesn’t understand me & to call back later and maybe she’ll understand” ?? I thought it was a joke. Trust me I’m fully capable to reset my password & my phone saves it instantly. It’s a glitch in the system for internet & phone. A response to another review said they have email hours during the weekend yet no response. Super unreliable company, I shouldn’t have been lazy & cheap & found a reliable one instead. Read their responses to poor reviews, they lack empathy & genuine interest in resolutions, they only aim to save face & have a condescending energy behind the responses.

I paid my bill on Saturday, I was still in the positive and they turned my power off and won’t turn it back on!!!!! It’s been almost10 hours!
Response: Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be to have your power turned off, especially after making a payment and expecting everything to be resolved. It sounds like you took action promptly, and it’s completely reasonable to feel upset when things don’t go as expected. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to move forward. In situations like this, a reconnection can only be processed once the full minimum payment is made—including the negative balance plus an additional $20 to bring the account into a positive standing. If any part of that requirement wasn’t met, the reconnection order may not have been triggered. To get this resolved as quickly as possible, we encourage you to contact our Customer Care Team directly at 1-888-963-9363. They’ll be able to review your account in detail and help ensure everything is on track for reconnection. Published on October 15, 2025

Response: Hi Travia, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I understand that your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations, and I can see how frustrating that must have been. Your feedback is important, and it helps us recognize where things may not be aligning with the level of service we aim to provide. While your message wasn’t detailed, the 1-star rating clearly signals that something went wrong, and we want to make it right. If you're open to it, I’d love the opportunity to learn more about what happened and work toward a resolution that feels fair to you. Please feel free to reach out directly at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours so we can address your concerns more personally. Published on September 29, 2025
Today as of 9/29 I will not ever use these people ever again!! They’ll find a reason to charge you I went away for the summer so electric wasn’t used smh they went in and charged me $522 and said the system made a mid back in may and charged me for them months smh mind you my bill never been under $400 !!! Been with them for a year and 4 months
Response: Hi Racquesha, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it must be to receive a bill that doesn’t reflect your expectations, especially after being away for the summer. It sounds like the billing system didn’t accurately report your usage for several months, which led to a large charge appearing all at once. That kind of surprise can be incredibly stressful, and we want to make sure you feel heard and supported. We’ve identified that a reporting issue occurred starting in May, and unfortunately, the charges accumulated until the system corrected itself. While this doesn’t change the impact it had on you, we do want you to know that we’re actively working to make it right. A Specialist will be reaching out to you directly to go over your billing details and discuss any available options to help resolve this. We appreciate the time you’ve spent with us over the past year and four months, and we’re committed to helping you through this situation. Published on September 29, 2025
Don’t recommend, you’ll pay 50 every 3 days . The if your light gets disconnected on a weekend you’ll spend the whole weekend with no light. If you make a payment after 5 pm you’ll be with no light for the rest of the night . This company is a 1 out of 10.
Response: Hi Leny, Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with service interruptions, especially over the weekend or after hours. Your feedback highlights important concerns that matter to us. We hear you on the payment frequency and timing. Our billing is based on actual kilowatt usage, which can vary depending on consumption. For transparency, we encourage checking your usage breakdown at SmartMeterTexas.com by registering for a free account. This can help you better understand how your energy use impacts your charges. Regarding reconnections, once the minimum payment is made, service can typically be restored within two hours—depending on the workload of the Transmission and Distribution Service Provider. We know timing is critical, and we’re continuously working to improve the speed and reliability of this process. If you're exploring other options, PowerToChoose.org is a great resource to compare rates across providers, including ours. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, Leny. If there’s anything specific we can look into for you, we’re here to help. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours which are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We also provide after hours email assistance during these hours: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday. Published on September 29, 2025
