I had a $27.90 bill and needed to pay straight away due to my card for payments was cancelled due to a new one! I called alinta energy to sort this out and payed the over due amount and to start up my new direct debit for weekly payments! I asked and confirmed that I would only have this taken out weekly(78.00). But next direct debit of 78.00 that came out was for 305 dollars? I called them and the told me that thos was not the case! If I didn't set up my direct debit weekly how where they able to take 305 dollars out of my account? Alinta employee's are lyers to there customers!

WORST ELECTRICITY COMPANY EVER

WORST ELECTRICITY COMPANY EVER! NEVER USE THESE GUYS. My bill was over 50% higher than normal and when i called up i got the worst indian customer service. I have an email saying there was something wrong with the metre box. When i said I wanted the bill to be the same as the last bill due to the issue he laughed at me. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY

I changed to Alinta months ago with 2.x $100 bonuses 1.for electricity , 1.for gas
Then i get a message yesterday saying they can not access my gas meter ( been living here 2 1/2 years with no problems to find out they were trying to go next door ( i live 108 albert street , they were trying to get into 108A albert street next door) i recieved an email a few weeks ago with an address of 108A albert street for gas ,.so i replied with this is wronge address and i would not be paying any bills for 108A WITH NO REPLY ( MORE SHIT SERVICE) if they had of responded to this it could have been sorted out before you sent a m.eter reader.
So then i had to re apply for the gas account (65 minutes on the phone)of which they tell me there is now a connection fee of $75 odd dollars (which i did not have before) and the welcome bonus has gone from $100 to $50 which wont even cover the connection fee ( its still connected , i dont understand what they are connecting)
I see i have a cooling off period ( ill be checking other suppliers)
