I looked for my review that I made early today and it’s not posted! Seems like they are only uploading good reviews only! This goes to show you that something is not right with this company my bill went from 7 dollars a day to 30 dollars a day I’m a single mom I have a two year mind you no one can reach the light switch but me.I called them weeks ago to check the meter because how am I using this much usage the watts are not adding up at all! But i screenshot this review because it seems like the last one wasn’t posted but no one reach out to me yet about the problem but made sure my review wasn’t posted.This company is RIGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response: Ms Smith- Your suspicion is understandable but not accurate. Payless power is based in the DFW Metroplex and all of our staff has worked from home since the beginning of the Pandemic. Almost all associates were dealing with power and water issues while also trying to serve concerned customers . In times like this we have to prioritize our work and as of today 2/19 we were able to get back to full strength and get to things such as review responses . Your feed back is important and more importantly we can address your concerns. Feel free to call us at 888 963 9363 to discuss. Published on February 19, 2021
I could not be happier with a utility provider than I am with Payless Power. You make my life so easy. Automatically deducting my payments according to my preference, providing a website that’s easy-peasy to navigate (important for a 60-something like me), and responding simply and effectively any time I have needed something are the main reasons I will never switch back to TXU or Ambit. Thank you. I just wish the other utility companies would learn from you!! Thanks.
Response: Thank you for your 5 star review! We are proud to know that Payless Power meets your expectations and that you are satisfied with our service. Published on February 19, 2021
You know I am highly satisfied with this company. I’ve been a customer since around 2009, I get notifications daily by text and email of my kilowatts and my usage bill for that day. I’ve only ask for extension Maybe six or seven times since I’ve been with the company and I had no problem get a extension on my bill. Even when I move I had no problem with the transfer of my life’s. I will stay with this company as long as they would have me. Thanks a lot Payless Power

I have multiple homes set up with Payless Power and I would and has, recommend this company to numerous people. Payless Power customer service reps are always knowledgeable, polite, patient and professional. The rates are better than any of their competitors and the billing is easy, not confusing like other electric services. I’ve had other electric companies call us to offer better prices, but after reading the small print, they didn’t measure up to Payless Power.

This is the most reliable company I’ve ever had. Helps me to control how my power is used. Gets my kids on board to save more electricity because they see it day to day. It helps to not have a huge bomb of a bill at the end of every month. I prefer to know I have already paid my bill and I only need to add a bit at a time if that’s all I can afford. Thank you payless power!
Response: We are so pleased that you enjoy the daily messages via text, email or both-text & email. We truly feel this is the most powerful tool in maintaining control of the energy usage in one’s home. Thank you for your business. Published on February 19, 2021
I think it’s pretty messed up due to the cold that you guys are really charging people outrageous prices just to survive when I do get back on my feet, I will be looking for a different electric company. I think I would rather put it in my 2 yr old child’s name.
Response: Hi Tiffany- Your comments say that you feel that Payless Power charges outrageous prices due to the cold and that’s messed up. This week has been very hard on every Texas resident so your frustration is more than understandable. There is one important thing to note though, Payless Power has not raised the rates of a single customer in advance of or during this winter storm. Everyone’s charges have skyrocketed due to record usage due to the coldest temperatures since 1899. You daily charges no doubt increased greatly but this was not because we were charging you more for eletricity. The increase was because the amount of electricity you were consuming increased. We do have options to help you though so call us at 888 963 9363 and we’ll go over it with you and show you what we can do to help. Published on February 19, 2021
The worst company ever! Shuts my electric off at 2a.m. during the coldest night of the year. Continues to bill me for electricity not even being used. Customer service is the worst! They don’t keep your place in line and call you back, no, you have to wait until all 150 customers before you are taken care of. Nobody has that time. They messed up my billing, and I am having to pay a outrageous amount to get caught up, then the winter storm hits and they still charge even when there is no electricity being used at all! Do not go with this company. They will shut you off and still charge you even though it is shut off! Worst company EVER!
Response: Mr Para. Your comments state that Payless Power cut your lights off at 2:00 AM and bills you for usage when your power is actually off. You also state that your place in line is not kept when you call in . Not having power during a historic cold spell is a terrible thing. That is why Payless Power has not disconnected a single customer including you all week. If you lost power it was due to ERCOT Sanctioned rolling outages and not because Payless Power requested this to happen. In regards to being billed while your power was off What you are experiencing is a side effect of the statewide outages related to the winter storm. Transmission and Distribution Utilities (AEP Texas, Oncor, Centrepoint, Texas New Mexico Power) own the power distribution infrastructure and the meters. Typically, a smart meter will transmit usage data in 15-minute increments, and they are very reliable. If the meter stops transmitting data. The Utility systems assume that the meter is still working but and that there is simply a problem with the data transmission. Because if this the Utility systems will automatically generate an estimate. At the end of a customer’s 30-day billing cycle they read the meter for the whole month which catches any discrepancies so the customer’s bill can be properly adjusted. This is a pretty straightforward and accurate process and the meter’s are accurate enough that there is rarely a noticeable issue. Unfortunately, this same process works during widespread outages due to extreme weather, grid damage, fires etc. The meter stops reporting data because there is no power, but the Utility metering systems still generate estimates, and these estimates are then sent to Retail Electric Providers. Payless Power also has automatic processes that bill customers daily based on the metering data that the Utilities send to ERCOT and then to us. Because of this, many customers are seeing charges on days when they had no power. The last time this happened on such a scale was during Hurricane Harvey. We do have good news for you though. Your money is not gone. We also have an automated process to adjust your account balance if you were over billed during this week’s winter outages. If you were charged for usage while your power was out this will be reflected at the end of your 30-day billing cycle when we get the monthly read from your local utility. If you would like to know approximately when that will occur, please contact us through your My Account Portal or at 888 963 9363. Published on February 19, 2021
I haven’t been home since Sunday due to the power outage in my area, I didn’t leave my heat or any Lights on but I am still being changed daily for usage and my balance is critically low, because I’ve paid $75 in less then a week and I can’t afford to keep adding money to my account even if I’m not home. I hope this situation is resolved.

WROST experience ever‼️ I told someone 2 weeks ago the my usage couldn’t be right before the weather my bill went from 7 to 30 dollars I’m starting to think this is rigged! Something is not right!
Response: Ms Smith. Your comments state that you told someone 2 weeks ago that your usage wasn’t right and now it has increased by 4X. This makes you feel like this is rigged. It’s never a good thing when your electric bill feels like its out of control. To help get it under control it is important to understand the factors involved. Many customer’s automatically feel that the electric provider is cheating them if their charge seem too high. Others feel that the meter is not working properly. While there are those I mean maybe a possibility of a meter issue , Payless Power is very transparent and straightforward with our billing and can show you how to confirm that we are billing you based on the usage that is being reported. First, rest assured that even though your selected the variable rate plan option that came with a lower start up cost and higher KWH rate, Payless Power has not raised your rate over the last month. The amount that you pay per KWH has not increased however your usage has . Keep in mind that your plan comes with a daily fee of $2.67 and this includes the first 17KW at no additional cost and the per KWH rate is applied to any usage over the first 17KWH. We send you a daily text with he amount of KWH you used the day before yesterday (as noted on your texts we bill 2 days in arrears). You can also view a record of your usage on you MyAccount Portal. Let us know if you need help accessing this because it has great information. While on the MyAccount Portal you can also register for www.smartmetertexas.com which is a free website operated by the State and not affiliated with Payless Power. This site will allow you to do 2 important things: 1.) you will be able to compare what we bill you for with what your meter said you used and by doing so confirm that we are calculating your usage correctly for billing. 2.) It allows you to view your usage during the day in 15 minute increments and this can help you pin point what is consuming the energy in your home. These are the most valuable tools you have to not only understand where the issue is but also what you can do to stop it. Looking over your billing I would say that something is clearly going on but it is not with your billing and rate and probably also not the meter. I would ask the property manager to check the thermostat and perhaps the refrigerant gas in the unit. Also make sure to avoid the emergency or auxiliary heat settings and this uses 3x the normal amount if power as the standard heat setting . High usage has been unavoidable this week. This was the coldest week in Texas since 1899 with historic black outs that made it hard to keep homes warm. All this will have an affect but there may be a technical issue as well.
