When you talk to almost any utility company, they will tell you they need a social security number to run a credit check. The credit check will determine whether you need to pay a deposit to begin service, and often your credit score is tied to how much of a deposit you will have to give the utility company to begin service. Pronto Power, Kennedale’s prepaid electricity provider, is different. Read below to find out how you can sign up for affordable electricity without a credit check.
Because bills are sent out monthly, most utility companies simply send a bill at the end of the billing cycle to let their customers know how much they owe. If a customer is unable to pay that bill, the money can be taken from the deposit. In other words, deposits are like a guarantee that the money will be there if the bill isn’t paid on time.
Credit scores are based on how well customers pay their monthly bills. If a customer pays on time for all his or her bills, the credit score for that individual will be very good. If a few bills are paid in arrears, the credit score falls. For customers who have trouble meeting payments regularly, their credit scores are considered high risk. Those individuals would have a higher deposit amount than their friends who have only paid late a few times within the last year, for instance.
Prepaid service with Pronto Power is different. With prepaid service, you add funds to your account before your service begins. As time passes, additional funds can be placed in your account. As long as the account is above 1¢, your service remains on. Adding funds is simple with the interactive app provided when you sign up for service. With a few clicks you can add as much as you want to your account. You can check your account at any time, and Pronto Power contacts you via text or email every morning to let you know how much money remains in your account. You can then decide if it’s time to fill your account.
Sometimes your Pronto Power account is low and your next paycheck is several days away. Don’t panic! Call Pronto Power before 1:00 and our customer service representatives will be happy to defray your billing until your next paycheck. This service is free to our customers and is just another way we strive to keep our customers satisfied.
