Good luck trying to get hold of anyone to help you.

My smart meter stopped reporting my usage. Do you think alinta would help…

Alinta, pushed to Energex, pushed to Plus-ES, pushed back to alinta.

Alinta are the ones who need to raise the issue with the meter installer but they won’t help.

Happy to take my money though 🤨

Hi Plumbs,

We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty you’ve had getting this resolved. We understand how frustrating it is to be referred between different organisations without a clear outcome, particularly when your smart meter is not reporting usage.

Please contact our customer service team on 13 37 02 or via web messaging at Contact us, so we can review the issue and work with the relevant metering provider where required.

Kind regards,

Sally

Poor Customer Experience

Spoke to 4 people on Monday and was told I would be emailed a contract in approx 3 hours. Now Thursday and still waiting. They make it very hard to stay with them when you need to do something outside paying a bill. No follow-up if there was an issue just left hanging. Very disappointing as we have been business customers for many years. Thank you for your response Sally, doesn't really help as now Friday and still they have not done what they said they would do and I have already spent over an hour on the phone with them why should I have to spend another hour identifying myself on your services so they can do what they said they would do? Still a one star as nothing lower.

No help, won’t accept any responsibility.

The company generated the wrong surname on one of three accounts we had with them then insisted we had to pay a fee to have the problem rectified! Also refused to discuss a disputed bill with me as my name was not on that one account, even though they had spoken to my husband previously and he gave them his permission for me to act on his behalf! Avoid this provider at all costs!
