Why am I getting an uninitialized constant error and how can I fix it?

When I try to run my signup form for a web app that I'm building in Rails, I get the following error:

uninitialized constant User::PillHQ

which references two methods in my app code, one in my user model and one in my user controller.

The method in question in the user model is

def save_with_payment
if valid?
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(description: email, plan: PillHQ, card: stripe_card_token)
self.stripe_customer_token = customer.id
save!
end

and the method in question in the user controller is 

def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save_with_payment
sign_in @user
flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"
redirect_to edit_user_path(current_user)
UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver
else
render 'new'
end
end

I'm not sure how to remove the error, so any help you can give would be awesome!

The word PillHQ on the line below is not valid against "Naming Conventions", assuming it is a variable...

customer = Stripe::Customer.create(description: email, plan: PillHQ, card: stripe_card_token)

Local Variables
Lowercase letter followed by other characters, naming convention states that it is better to use underscores rather than camelBack for multiple word names, e.g. mileage, variable_xyz
