After the hacking there was some confusion about my bill and when it was due. The young man who responded to my email Kelvz was very helpful and answered all my questions.

Power was meant to be turned on the 3rd July which on the meter it says disconnected but due to it saying connected on the computer they said nothing they can do! Being a Friday no one wanted to help and you wiped your hands from it so we had to go to a motel till Monday and put all our fridges and freezers to someone else’s house so we didn’t lose our food very unimpressed was the service we have received so far. Waiting for someone to come out Monday to come have a look….. but who knows if this will happen definitely gonna let everyone I know cancel everything with you guys and move else’s where.

Hi Asha, we're very sorry to hear about your experience. We completely understand how frustrating and stressful it would have been to be without power after being advised that your connection was scheduled for 3 July, especially given the inconvenience of having to arrange alternative accommodation and move food from your fridges and freezers to prevent spoilage.
This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the impact this situation has had on you and your family. We'd like the opportunity to look into this further and ensure the matter is being progressed appropriately, please send your details to supportsocial@orignenergy.com.au or reach out directly via Facebook Messenger.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and are sorry for the disappointment you've experienced so far. Thanks - Lachy

They deliver but disconnect my 9 kilo gas bottle for kitchen and put the 45 kg gas bottle there rather than the proper place . Obviously it must be a new deliverer?
He left value on 9 kg open as he took it off so as well as that I lost the 9 kg gas bottle .

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Chris, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. That certainly doesn't sound right, and we understand how frustrating it would be to have the cylinders placed incorrectly and your 9kg bottle left with the valve open. We'd like to look into what happened and help resolve this. Please send us a PM on Facebook with your account details and delivery address so we can investigate this with our LPG team. Thanks - David

Your staff were very courteous and helpful. But I'm unhappy that I wasn't offered better pricing until after I had disconnected from you and signed up with another supplier. You made it very easy to reconnect but none of this would have been necessary if you offered the deal in the first place.

Thank you so much for sharing this, and we're genuinely pleased to hear our staff made the reconnection process easy and that they treated you with courtesy throughout. That really does mean a lot to us. ❤️ However, we completely hear you, the best plan should be offered first. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and is exactly the kind of insight that helps us improve how we engage with our customers proactively. Thanks - Lachy

Online and app info about my bill is wrong by $100

Been with Origin Energy for years for gas and electricity. Their app and online account information is so misleading, dishonest and duplicitous. Thieves and crooks without any conscience.
My online account (and app) says that my current account owing for electricity is $59.71. The bill I just received (and can view online as a PDF) is actually $159.71.
Don't know why the $100 isn't showing, but the online and app information makes it look like my bill's really cheap (given our solar panels and battery), when in fact it isn't at all. Disappointing and really angry at Origin. Might be time to find a new provider.

Hi Norman, we're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it would be to see different balances in your app and on your bill. That's certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We'd like the opportunity to investigate what's causing the discrepancy and help get it resolved. Please send us a PM on Facebook with your account details so we can take a closer look for you. Thanks - David
