I’m going to make sure that I report this company. Payless power just sent out a message on their website that states that customers will “see larger-than-usual charges as we reconcile previously unbilled amounts”. I checked my account, and it is now in the negatives! I had enough money to cover at least another day.
Response: Ms Kierra- Your comments show that you are alarmed at the message Payless Power sent to its customers advising them to expect higher charges than normal on 12/14. Customers are seeing these higher charges that day because no billing at all was sent on 12/10 and 12/11 and no energy charges were billed on 12/13. Your invoice on 12/14 is your normal charges for 12/12 (we bill 2 days behind ) and the 3 other unbilled days. The message also advised that we have not disconnected any customers over the last week while these issues were worked out but that we will be disconnecting on 12/18 beginning at noon. Please bring your account positive by that time. We are open today (Sat 12/16) with minimal callers holding. If you need assistance please call today as Monday will result in linger hold times than normal. 888 963 9363. Published on December 16, 2023
I pay $40 every 3 days which is insane! They over charge you just because they can I feel the reviews are fake or people who work 16 hours a day and is never ever at home. This sis insane I’m switching very soon.
Response: Mr. Henton- To recap, your comments state that you feel like you have been overcharged. It can definitely feel overwhelming when you are struggling to keep up with your charges. Please note that Payless Power does not inflate or estimate your usage, though. You can confirm your reads at the same time we receive them from Oncor. You can do this by registering your meter at www.smartmetertexas.com . The information needed to enroll on this site is posted on your Payless Power my account portal. Published on December 16, 2023
Since 11/17/23-I have found that the company has been guessing the usage and showing me using more than I did during summer. Using all the funds available in 2 days, no matter the amount. I called to find out what was happening and they made usage higher as retaliation.
I paid my bill & they still turned my lights off
Response: Mr Johnson- To recap, you have stated that your service was disconnected even though you paid your bill. I can understand how frustrating this can be and don’t blame you for being concerned. The most common reason that causes this is timing. For example, if we sent the disconnection order at 1:02 PM and you made your payment at 1:21 PM the lights may have still been on at that point however the disconnection is still in the process of being worked by Oncor. Your payment was just a little too late to cancel the disconnection. The good news is that they payment did automatically generate a reconnection order so you would like see your power restore very quickly. To avoid these types of issues, please ensure that you post a payment before 12:00 PM Noon to prevent a disconnection order from generating . Published on December 15, 2023
Expensive. I just received a final disconnection email, so I went into my account to waive it until 8pm. Now I can’t get into my account to pay the bill it says server down, then I’m trying to do it over the phone not working. Nobody is helping me it’s suppose to be 24/7 help. Now My lights will get cut off.
Response: Mr. King- You comments state that you tried to go into your account to add a same day account protection but received an error message. We do apologize for this inconvenience, and we are relieved that systems were back on line shortly which enabled to apply the extension that you needed. Published on December 15, 2023

I made a payment to connect my light over 2 hours ago which the message I received said it would not take longer than 2 hours and now I can’t even reach an agent because they are only open until 5:30. I finally have my weekend off and my own house to myself but no AC or TV or hot water.
Response: Ms. Rivera – To summarize, you made your payment to reconnect service however the services were not reconnected within 2 hours and you were not able to report this because the issue occurred after hours. This must have been especially frustrating, and we thank you for your patience. I do see that your services were reconnected but not until after midnight that night. This was approximately 7 hours after you posted your payment. What could have caused this ? Please note that all retail electric provider in your area send disconnection and reconnection orders to AEP Texas for completion. AEP owns the lines, polls, and meters. In this case, we sent the order, but AEP took much longer than usual to complete it. This could have been due to a delay in their systems receiving the order or an issue with your meter receiving the reconnection signal remotely. In such cases, a truck may have to be dispatched. Luckily, such delays are rare. In the future, if you have a problem after hours, we do have email support until 9:00 PM Mon-Fri and from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday .
