The application fee is not disclosed clearly, I have now moved to Kleenheat - they do not charge a fee for opening an account! I do not recommend Alinta!

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.

Very poor conduct. Now I am sitting here with no electricity for already four hours so you can reconnect under a different name I only gave one star because there was not any lower scorr

se…new utilities

I normally don't have time for these calls and can have trust issues giving info over the phone etc but l also know the different utilities companies only offer the good deals to new customers and getting a 640 gas bill for 2 in small unit l thought I'd at least listen and l could tell the call centre guy called Eddy was knowledgeable and wasn't scam type questions and over a few minutes he got a better provider and just the 640 gas bill now will change to almost 200 cheaper! At 450 it's around 33% cheaper so can't think how it could've been quicker or cheaper
