My initial phone call a week ago was difficult as I could not understand the person I was speaking to however today I spoke to Jamie and he was excellent. He took time to explain everything to me. He was courteous and kind as I recently lost my husband. I was thinking of leaving Alinta but dealing with Jamie on the phone altered my mind. Thank You Jamie

Gas disconnected

I am on holiday when I received a call from sis on Thursday saying that the gas was disconnected, assuming that it was planned maintenance, when called they said it’s because the bill was not paid, I said I never got the bill, I checked on my account, the bill was never issued. I was never contacted about the bill. Making payment is not an issue for us .Now they tell me someone will come only next week on Tuesday because they dnt work on weeeknd. They could have seen someone on Friday or even Monday. That leaves the house with no hot water n gas for a week

genuinely the worst energy company i've had to deal with, cant create an account, couldnt pay my bill through the website with their provided details, so many hoops i had to jump through just to pay my bill, then when i tried to end my account i stated that i wanted to not have the call recorded, i was told that my request would be cancelled and the call would be deleted, genuinely go with anyone else for your own sake

The trials and tribulations of incorporated bodies entering into contracts

My first attempt to sign up to an Alinta BusinessDeal Flex plan resulted in the application being refused due to "your credit score not meeting our minimum credit requirement". I rang Alinta's contact number and was told that the credit rating was based on the person making the application not the organisation. My own personal credit rating is exemplary so I suspected this was because I used the organisation's email address and phone number and not my own, so I initiated another application with my own email address and phone number. This resulted in a dialog box saying "An error has occurred completing your application. Please contact us on 13 39 08 to get assistance completing this sign up". When I rang the number I was able to successfully complete the application (by starting again). Things to note: 1. The application on the website says that the phone number is the business phone number when in fact it is the number that is easiest to contact us on, which in this case is my number. We are a not-for-profit incorporated organisation run entirely by volunteers with no permanent presence at the site where the electricity is being provided. 2. The advice that the credit rating is based on the person making the application is wrong, it is based on the organisation (according to the second person I spoke to). And because we are an incorporated organisation credit ratings do not apply (also according to the second person I spoke to).
