Prepay CFE bill?

You can go to the CFE office in Chapala and feed the machines outside as much as you want to pay in advance. I do it every January along with all my other annual bills. My solar system produces more than I use so my bill is only the 53 pesos (or whatever) administration fee every two months. You will need to take a bill to scan the code into the machine and follow the directions accordingly in Spanish.  I feed the machine 350 pesos (6x53=318) and keep the receipt attached to the most recent CFE bill. Then the next bill that I receive shows a balance owing of 0 (zip, nada, zero) and I just file it.

When you go out of the country for a few months and don’t have a Mexican credit card how do you pay your bill? I was thinking about putting money on my account at an OXXO but is that even possible? 

We use UnDosTres.  Very simple.  Set up an account and use your Canadian or U.S credit card.

That is very good information Ferret, thanks.  A few years ago we prepaid manually in the old office around the corner and they didn't credit it and it turned into a real nightmare to get it straightened out.  Had to go to a second office with a Mexican friend to straighten it out.

We have a debit card at Citibanamex and when we go out of the country, we use it to pay all bills online. Been doing that for years.
