Q: How does a Payment Arrangement work?

A: A Payment Arrangement is a short-term extension of the due date for the full payment of your past-due balance. The Payment Arrangement provides you assurance that your account will not receive collections activity or be disconnected during the term of the extension. Compared to a Deferred Payment Plan (DPP), a Payment Arrangement is not a structured long-term process for settling past due balances. This type of arrangement is offered to customers that are less than seven (7) days after your bill due date. If you meet the criteria for a Payment Arrangement, you have eight (8) days to pay your balance in full.

Q: What happens if I break the Payment Arrangement?

A: If you have not paid your past –due balance in full by the agreed-upon date, a Disconnection Notice will be generated for your service address.

Q: What is a Deferred Payment Plan?

A: A Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) is a formal agreement between you and V247 Power, allowing you to pay an outstanding amount due in installments to prevent disconnection of service. If you meet the eligibility requirements, the balance will show as a past due amount on the bill until the DPP is completed and paid in full. You are required to pay your normal monthly charges in addition to the agreed-upon DPP amount each month.

Q: What happens if I break my Deferred Payment Plan?

A: If you default on your Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) with V247 Power, you will receive a letter indicating that the entire DPP amount is due immediately. You also cannot enroll in another DPP for 6 months.

Q: Who do I call in the event of a power outage?

A: Interruption in you electric service can be caused by two main reasons. 1) If your service has been interrupted as a result of disconnection for non-payment, you must pay V247 Power the amount listed on your Disconnection Notice to restore service. You can contact customer service during normal business hours 1-855-888-9888, select option “2” for automated payments, or option “3” to speak with a live agent. You can also make a payment through your online account, or in-person at any ACE, HEB, or Kroger. Once payment has been received by V247 Power and posted to your account, our system sends out a reconnection transaction to the utility to restore service. Reconnection will typically take less than two hours if your home has a Smart Meter. If your home or business has an analog meter, reconnection could take up to 24 – 48 hours depending on the workload of the technician.

2) If your service has been interrupted by a natural disaster or severe weather, or if there is an outage in your area, please contact your TDSP provider listed below:
