This company starts off good, but after a couple of months the rates become ridiculously too high! You are actually paying more money on prepaid acct, then on another company with month to mther. A company that charges (44 kwh) a day, the devil is a lie. Also in order to get discounted rate u have to pay at least $35. So you at least paying $150 or more a month depending! But I wouldn’t recommend this company to no one. Go with a month to month company, My opinion! Too much to try an keep up with threw the month. Especially when you have other bills to worry about. Sometimes you may not have money to put on the acct in the middle of the month so u end up in the neg really fast especially when there (kwh) steadly raising

Do not give this company your business, They over charge u make fake meter reading and then will not rectify the charges.. i was away from home for a month and my meter reading mysteriously jumped from 9 kw a day to 29-35 a day so i get back home to find everything just the way i had left it, nothing plugged in, a/c turned up to 80°. When i talked to the customer service rep all i got was the run around about i can register my meter online so i can follow my power usage.. that doesn’t help the fact that they are inputting false reading. She then informed me that they cannot and will not rectify the readings.. Total rip off company, i guess since they are a prepaid company they figure they already have ur money they don’t have to give quality service. Today i will be changing service providers.. Very dissatisfied with payless power as a whole..

I was satisfied with my service until they charged me $251.92 “they said they under charged me from march to april, an that oncor comes out an does an estimated meter reading for the month” but i thought it was a prepaid service i kept $35 an up in my account every week..never knew i get a reading every month. I have lost a lot.” then 2 oncor workers come to my house to turn my power off an say “we just come out to make sure the meter is running we have nothing to do with reading or payments”

I have been overcharge for this month and ten days that i have been with them and it’s ridiculous. They have even charged me on days that im not home as if i were that’s how i learned that payless power is a money hungry company. Signed one unsatisfied customer
Response: Hi Porscha, we are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with our service. We hope that you know we take comments and issues such as these very seriously, and consider every case. A review of your account history shows that you live in a high usage residence and have had usage exceeding 2000 KWH per month directly prior to Payless Power.

The worst light company ever definitely crooks
Response: Shanique - thank you for commenting. We are disappointed that you have not had a positive experience. We understand that it is easy for customers to become frustrated if their usage doesn't make sense to them but we bill you daily using the very same meter reads as any other electric company in your area would use. You can also audit these reading daily by viewing your usage on www.smartmetertexas.com. This a free site operated by the State that shows you how much energy you home uses in increments from 15 minutes to a month. You can use this information to validate what your electric company bills you for and also determine what is consuming the power at your home.
THIS IS THE WORSTE light company I’ve ever in life had! Don’t do it! I’ve paid 300 in less than a month and I only have a two bed two bath they will make you pay for the reconnection fee even if your lights were not off
Response: Hello - thank you for sharing your experience. Good or bad, this is an important part of customer reviews. Please note that Payless Power only bills based off your daily meter reads as provided by Oncor. There is a small daily customer charge added + taxes. That's it. We don't estimate charges and the rates do not change daily. Your charges are determined by your usage and we do not determine this. Oncor owns the meter and records and reports the usage to us for your billing. You can always double check your meter at www.smartmetertexas.com to ensure that we have billed your usage correctly. Call us at 888-963-9363 and we can provide the meter information you will need to register free of charge.
