Payment Options

There are a number of convenient ways to pay your MXenergy natural gas bill.

 

First, you may pay by check or money order.  Just enclose your check or money order in the enclosed envelope. (Please include the remittance stub and write your customer number on the check.)

 

You can also pay automatically, by bank draft or credit card.  We'll be glad to get you started.  Just send us an email at customercarega@mxenergy.com.

 

We also offer online payment.  By signing up for MyAccount, you can pay your MXenergy bill, and any other bill, online. You may be interested in electronic billing as well as payment.  Find out more in the MyAccount area.  If you already use the Bill Pay services of your bank or Checkfree, you'll find MXenergy listed as a payee. 

 

If you need to pay in a hurry, we can take your payment by phone.  Just call us at 877.677.4355.  There is a $4.95 service charge for a check or credit card payment by phone.

 

For those customers who prefer to make payments in cash, MXenergy now accepts payment through the Western Union Convenience Pay service. Convenience Pay is a fast and easy way to send a payment to MXenergy Services without using a check or credit card.

 

The Convenience Pay service cannot be used to quickly notify MXenergy Services of payment for late, termination, or disconnect notices. Please use Western Union Quick Collect for this type of service.

 

Please refer to the listing below for agent locations.

When using the Convenience Pay service you will need to have your bill with you. On that bill you will find your customer number. The Western Union Agent will need to see your bill to process the payment.

Cost of the Convenience Pay service is $1.00 per transaction, in addition to amount due on bill.

Western Union Quick Collect Service -- Immediate Cash Payment
MXenergy now accepts cash payments through the Western Union Quick Collect Service for customers who need to make immediate payment. A payment can be posted to your account faster than using overnight mail. This is only for cash payments. The cost of Quick Collect Service is $12.95 per transaction, in addition to the amount due on the bill.

 

If you are facing an involuntary shut off, the Quick Collect Service will provide immediate payment notification to MXenergy's Collections and Back Office departments. This will allow immediate action to stop the shut off process.

 

The Agent will need the following information when making a Quick Collect payment:

 

Your Customer Number
Company Name (MXenergy Services Co.)
Code City (MXenergy)
State (TX)
For transactions of $1,000 to $2,999.99, a driver's license, state, or government issued identification, passport or alien registration card must be provided. For a transaction of $3,000 or more, you must also provide a social security number, date of birth and occupational information.

 

Call (800) 325-6000 for more information about Quick Collect and to find the location nearest you.

Missing Payments

We make every effort to make sure that your payment is credited to your account in the shortest time possible. The shortest time possible does not mean we can credit your account immediately. But if you have made a payment and don't think we have received it or credited it to your account, these pages will answer your questions and help us track your payment.

 

How did you make the payment that is missing?
Check or Money Order
Western Union
At MXenergy's site
At my bank's site

 

Check or Money Order
Did you send the payment after the due date? If the answer is yes, your payment was probably not posted before your most recent bill was processed. It will show up on the next statement.

 

If you paid just before the due date, it may not have posted to your account before your next bill was generated.

 

If you paid at least four business days before the due date, we may not have been able to locate your account. Did you include the payment stub? Did you write the account number on your check or money order? If you did not, it can take several days to locate the account you intended the payment to go into, and sometimes it is impossible to find the account.

 

To help us locate the payment, please provide us with specific information about the payment: the date it was made, the amount, the payee, your name, your customer number, and a method of contacting you. If the payment has cleared your bank, we will need proof of that, either a copy of the front and back of the check or a letter from the bank. For a money order we will need a copy of the stub/receipt you received for the money order.

 

You can attach that to an electronic trouble report or mail or fax the information to us.

 

Here are some tips that will help make sure your payment is properly credited.

 

Please verify your billing address information when mailing your bill, and help us properly post your payment by following these guidelines. It is sometimes impossible to properly post a payment without you noting your Customer Number on your check or money order.

 

Ensure the remittance address appears through the window of the envelope. For multiple accounts, include all remittance stubs and indicate the amount to be posted to each account. Your check total should equal the amounts allocated on all stubs.
Do not send cash.
Do not fold stub or use paper clips, staples or tape.
Enclose your remittance stubs and provide the payment amount to be posted to that account. Please write your Customer Number on your check or money order.

Western Union
Cash payments made through Western Union rarely present problems. When we do have a problem, we need to be able to track your cash payment. Please have the following information available:

 

Where did you make the payment?

 

Do you have a receipt or other proof that you sent the money order?

At MXenergy’s site
First, we need to determine whether your payment is really missing.

 

The online bill summary is not a real-time reflection of the status of your account.  It is a summary of the last bill presented by MXenergy. Payments to your account will not be shown in the summary until the next bill is generated.

If you paid through our Payment Center, you can track payments by checking the Payment Activity page.  There you will see the status of each payment you have scheduled. If the status is Processed your payment has been sent to us.  Here is the list of possible payment status descriptions:

  • Scheduled indicates that the payment is scheduled to be made.
  • In Process indicates that the payment is now being processed and cannot be changed or canceled.
  • Processed indicates that the payment date has arrived. Normally, we receive the payment on the payment date and credit your account. Sometimes, however, it can take a few days to credit your account.
  • Canceled indicates that you canceled the scheduled payment.
  • Failed indicates that the payment was returned to us either because there was a problem when we tried to withdraw the payment from your payment account or because the account information sent with your payment was not enough for us to properly credit your account. This status can also occur when the bank account we tried to withdraw the payment from has been closed.
You can also check to see if the payment has been withdrawn from your payment account.  If you made the payment using a bank account, check your account statement for the withdrawal.

At my bank's site
Did you make the payment on or after the due date?

 

If the answer is yes, your payment was probably not posted before your most recent bill was processed. It will show up on the next statement. You can check your account balance by calling 877.677.4355 and selecting the account balance option in the menu.

 

If the answer is no, has the payment cleared your bank?
If the electronic payment has cleared your bank, and was made before the due date, please check the name on the payment. Make sure your select "MXenergy" from your bank's list of Payees in the future and contact us about this missing payment. We'll need specific information about the payment: the date it was made, the amount, the payee, your name, your customer number, and a method of contacting you. If the electronic payment has not cleared your bank, wait a few days and check again. You may not have allowed enough time for the payment to arrive, post, and clear your bank.
