We negotiated to transfer our…

We negotiated to transfer our electricity plan from one provider to Alinta. No moving house just a simple transfer. Their website says that the transfer will happen seamlessly without disruption to power. However we were told that WE had to ring our existing supplier to cancel our plan ( which was not locked in) and that we then had to turn off the power or risk damage to appliances with the transfer! We queried these instructions twice with the call centre and were told the same thing on both occasions. We have never had to do our own cancellation nor have had power disruption when we have changed power providers.I rang our power distributor and they told us that this not how it should work and were concerned about the information we were provided. We have elected not to move our electricity account to Alinta as their overseas call centres do know NOT how the electricity network in Victoria operates.

very disappointed in call center

very disappointed in call center, already made 2 calls now need to call them back 2 more times because my husband gave permission done his POI and said yes to what needs doing as his the main account holder, but now they need to speak to him again to get his permission again but he had left, after an hour on phone I need to make 2 more calls because I cant update something as well until I actually move so another call is required.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience with us so far and we’re sorry to hear it wasn’t the best.

We recommend having the primary account holder add you as a secondary contact via MyAccount as this will make sure we can speak to you with regarding the account with out needing to confirm with you husband.
