The best way to resolve complaints with
Alinta Energy

Alinta Energy is a large retailer of electricity and gas. Although it’s not one of the 3 biggest energy retailers, Alinta has been consistently growing its customer numbers in recent years. In Ajust’s experience, Alinta’s complaint process is not as efficient as other providers. Alinta often asks for details to be confirmed, which slows down the resolution process. Alinta’s resolution rate is below the industry average for Ajust complaints.

Customer frustrated with lengthy process and unimpressed with customer service, plans to switch to induction stove in next property.
Not sure how long I wasted 2day trying to open an A/c and hav a.removd gas meter ordered, but far too long. Definitely not impressed wth.the long winded intro I had to put up with each time I called. Also th absurd dialogue I had to listen to and agree to, sounds like who ever suggested it was a retired ( or fired) kindergarten teacher. The rest of my ordeal.wil take too long to explain. Next property wil hav an induction stove.

Customer seeks review of energy plan for cost-effectiveness after being with alinta energy for over a year.
I'm worried that I might not be on the most cost-effective plan for my home energy needs. Having been with Alinta Energy for over a year, and given the increasing cost of living, I'm keen to ensure I'm getting the best deal possible. Could Alinta Energy please check my account and inform me if there is a more affordable plan that suits my requirements?

Customer seeks $3150 bill wiped and apology from alinta energy after being kicked from hardship program due to centrelink error.
I was on a hardship plan where they matched my payments. Centrelink stopped my payments to alinta without my consent which resulted in me being kicked from the hardship programe. I've tried to get it reinstated and they're saying I'm not eligible because it's trial. If it is still going I'd like to be put back on I can't survive otherwise. It was no fault of my own why my bill was not being paid as Centrelink stopped the payments without me saying so. If they can't reinstate me I want my whole bill wiped so I can start again. They're a million dollar company. The best they can do is either put me back on the hardship payment where they match my payments or they wipe my $3150 bill and I start again
