Complaints

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 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

Customer frustrated with alinta energy's process for moving, experiencing delays due to address not in system, seeking resolution and apology.
I am trying to move and have had endless problems with the process. I am moving into a new house which does not come up on your system (called Landgate and they have processed it but will take time). I have informed you with the following: 1. An extensive phone conversation, 2. The existing meter on the house at 50 Clement street Bedford (previously lot 2, 204 The Strand Bedford), 3. Email sent out from Bayswater Council advising of the address, and 4. The Title. I have received emails stating that it is all organised and I have received an email requesting a RFA and site plans showing the position of the meter and stating that "there is no gas main in Clement Street". I'm trying to book the mover truck which is being withheld and I am totally frustrated with this process, it is very stressful. Please resolve the issue asap. I have been with Alinta gas forever but am really frustrated with this whole circular process.
