Energyaustralia failed to switch my energy plan as agreed, resulting in overcharged bills. requesting assessment of prior bills under correct plan.
At the end of my fixed price contract I called EnergyAustralia and requested that I be put on a more efficient energy plan than the default plan. They agreed to do this but never actioned it. I call and complained that I had been put on the wrong energy plan. My complaint was closed but they never switched my energy plan. They are still sending me bills under the old more expensive plan and not the new plan I should have been switched to. I have emailed several time and have not had any response. I have had to change energy providers and have outstanding bills under the old plan. I would like my prior bills to be assessed under the energy plan I should have been on.

Customer seeks correction of bill and apology from energyaustralia for discrepancy in estimated vs actual bill, requesting financial relief.
I was given an estimated bill but then when i questioned the bill i was told is wasn’t an estimate. although looking at my newest bill there is no way my last bill would have been calculated at $1000 but they are still trying to make me pay it. this is not financially doable for me and as per their policy if the estimated bill is different to the bill afterwards they have to correct it but they won’t. i would like my bill to be corrected and/or taken away due to the trouble it has caused us

Residential customer receiving high electricity bills, seeking resolution from energyaustralia. spa checked, plan changed to flexi, usage still high.
Hi, I am a residential customer and have been receiving extremely high electricity accounts. The last quarter was $2,556.82 and previous to that quarter $2,458.46. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse, 2 people. I have a spa that runs every day but have had it checked and nothing out of the ordinary. Energy Australia have changed my plan to flexi which will assist but i can see from my monthly print out some days we use 25.72 kwh. Not sure where else to go accept bring it up with Tom Elliott on 3aw. I cannot keep paying these ridiculous charges

Customer received unexpectedly high bill from energyaustralia, believes meter may be faulty. requesting meter check but frustrated with lack of response.
I got so expensive bill that is $585 for 2 people in 3 months. I believe we didn’t use that much electricity and we don’t have solar as well. When I had another electricity provider I never get that much higher amount bill. I used to get around $280 in 3 months. I got higher amount last time as well from this energy australia and this time it is more higher. And I am so worried like how I got that much. I want to request people that If they can send someone from energy australia to check my meter again if there is any issues. I called energy australia to talk about my problem but they didn’t care. So I am so frustrated.

Customer's power was disconnected early by energyaustralia, causing inconvenience and potential extra costs. seeking reimbursement for daily rent charges.
My power was disconnected 3 days early. Energy Australia has admitted this was accidentally shut off too early. Now impossible to move out and do proper cleaning. I have been on the phone currently for 60 minutes with no resolution in sight. If I need to delay clean or moving out I will be charged daily rent. I will expect Energy Australia to pay these costs.

Customer seeking $1072 rebate from energyaustralia as entitled to cost of living rebate. requesting adjustments to accounts and threatening further action.
Acct No 2267 202 030 As a Queensland concession card holder I am entitled to a total Cost of Living Rebate totalling $1072. That is a rebate of $268 over the past two accounts, September 2023 & December 2023, the account I received this morning, March 2024, and the June 2024 account. Please make the all the adjustments to my March account as soon as possible and email the new account, as I will not be paying the current account until I have received my adjusted account for September 2023, December 2023 and March 2024. If I do not receive the correct adjusted account I will take this further. The Queensland Government are paying Energy Australia the above mentioned amounts and you are not deducting from my account. Thank you Mary Schuster

Gas account received without pension concession deduction, seeking discount and apology from energyaustralia.
Received gas account without pension concession deduction. Account number 9892458068 $164.12 Spoke to assistant 1st march, who advised new statement would be forwarded. Statement arrived 2nd march exactly same amount. Spoke to another assistant today with no outcome achieved, as I did not wish to repeat myself for another half hour or so. Surely the adjusted invoice can be forwarded without going through all the same questions again. Regards Craig Stevens
