Great Customer Service

Called Alinta Energy Today.

Needed to change Names on the Account due to Death.

Cheryl made the whole process super easy and quick and gave us the time to get the paperwork we needed.

Plus, allowances for deafness and documents which went through the washing.

She was a brilliant rep for the company, and I hope Cheryl gets a day off and a pay rise.

Inaccuracy at its worst!

Spent the time comparing & checking, ultimately deciding to go with the Alinta offer on energymadeeasy, the Government comparison site. When I called to go through the sign up formalities, I was advised the published information was wrong - & by a very significant amount. If they can't correctly inform the Government of their pricing structure, what chance does a consumer have against mistakes? I went with Sumo.

Biggest scammers around

Biggest scammers around. Used them and had nothing but trouble from the get go. They used to add on extra fees to the bills and we were constantly on the phone having to get them fixed. Then finally after constant battles we stopped using them. We rang them and explained we were cancelling the service and paid our final bill over the phone. Then almost 10 months later we received a bill for over $1,000 that we owed.
Rang up and explained we'd cancelled the service and paid our final bill and they tried to say that we never canceled the bill and that they had no record of a phone call. Sent photo proof of final bill from bank along with a screenshot of the phone call and dates - they ignored us. Didn't hear back, then almost a year passed and we discovered they sent us to a debit collection agency. What a fight it has taken to sort the mess out because they screwed up. Absolute scammers and the most disloyal service ever. Wish I could give them negative reviews for the crap they put us through.
