This is by far the worst experience I have ever had I have been without power since 9 pm last night it is now 8:00am, there is no way to contact anyone after 5 pm which is absurd! How are you running a business that way there should always be an emergency line for your customers from what I’ve read reconnection takes about 2 hours it’s been 9 hours in my case the balance is constantly going down I’m being charged almost $20 a day for electricity I choose this company because I need a no deposit option but it was clearly one of the worst decisions I’ve made you all should be ashamed charging these rates in this economy and providing horrible customer service!
Response: Hello- Your comments stated that you were without power but could not contact anyone after 5:00 PM. You also feel that your rates are excessive. Being without power can definitely be frustrating and upsetting so your reaction is understandable. Please note that while our Customer Care department closes at 5:00 PM, we do offer email support for emergency situations until 9:00 PM Mon-Fri and from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sundays. It is also important to note that per your “Your Rights as a Customer” document that was provided in the welcome kit that you received upon enrollment, outages can be reported 24/7 either to Centerpoiint directly or by being transferred to Centerpoint by calling the automated phone system . Any maintenance and repairs needed to polls, lines, meters etc would be handled by Centerpoint, the owner of the grid. In relation to your rates, your rate is actually very competitive compared to what is available in your area presently ( competitors are currently charging about 14.5 cents ). This is based on plans displayed for your address on powertochoose.org. You do use a lot of energy though which has caused your daily charges to be pretty high . This is not a new trend at your address though. Historical usage over the year prior to when you started with Payless Power also shows very high usage for an apartment. You may want to reach out your property manager to have them check your HVAC system or thermostat. 888-963-9363. Published on June 28, 2024
Trash Company these people are thieves I did a payment on May 17 of 55.00 on the 20 of this month my balance was was 34.88 then on the 21 my balance is 2.00 they told me cause of the reconciliations usage first of all I had no power at all due to the storm we had a pole fell in my neighborhood I dint get power to Sunday afternoon makes no sense how they charge you when you don’t have power at all it shows what kind of trash company this is
Response: Ramiro- You review states that you were upset because you were charged for usage during the time that you had no power during the storm. Please note that Centerpoint generates estimates each day that a meter does not report usage back because their system assumes that power is being used but not reported. This happens even during outages due to weather etc. This can be very impactful to pre-paid customers who are billed daily instead of once per month so when this occurs we have options for customers until Centerpoint makes the usage adjustments at the end of your monthly billing cycle. In this case, account protections were in place for extended periods of time . I can also see that you received a credit on the account die to this on 6/20/24. This adjustment covered any overbilling that occurred between 5/13/24 and 6/12/24. Published on June 28, 2024
We have been without service from a tornado. Haven’t had power since may16th and it is now 20th. I’m still being charged daily. Which makes me think how many times have they added charges or made up the meter because we have no power at all on the block and I getting emails that’s 34kwh is being used . Also I had my wife call to try to figure it out the lady was so rude and wouldn’t help my wife because she’s not on the acct. I’m really considering changing light company’s. 4 days without power and water and there reps are so rude to there customers.
Response: Mr. Ramirez- your review states that you were without power in May due to the tornadoes and storms that struck the Cypress/Houston area, and you were still being charged daily even though you were without power for a week. First let me say how sorry we are that you have been impacted by the severe spring weather that hit Texas. We also acknowledge how concerning the continued daily billing is for customers in these types of scenarios . Please note that if the electric grid in an area is damaged, Centerpoint‘s systems are programmed to act as if power is still consumed but the meter is just failing to report the usage. Due to this , estimates are generated, and our system generates charges due to this. This sounds alarming but this does not mean that your money is being taken from you. There are also safeguards programmed into Centerpoint’s system to adjust your usage at the end of your billing cycle which would result in a credit back to your account . Based on how long it is until your next monthly meter read, we will either place a temporary credit on the account until your adjustments post, or we will place an extension until the adjustment posts. Either way you will receive relief until the billing is able to be corrected , I hope this helps. Published on June 28, 2024
