Rubbish company can take money wont give back
Rubbish! Had nothing but problems in a mesh network. I moved into a property and there was a past bill in the letter box so i called up and explained i had only just moved into the property and its not mine it must be from the previous tenants.. orgin then took my details to create a new account to bill from my move in date and to disregard thsj bill though opened any account without me agreeing verbally or in email etc for the overdue bill. The bill then came with my name on it and an over due amount with collections attached..
After back and forth phone calls and email chains it was reversed and I let excualtion go due to opening a second account in my name with no concent
Fast forward 2 years of paying electricity and hot water on time every time and staying in credit!! my hot water was always around the same amount monthly.. just before I vacated the property our hot water meter was changed to a smart meter and I was hit with a bill approx 5 -6 x times the normal amount.. the bill stated i used 14thousand L of hot water in a month.
I explained to them this isn't the case myself and parter work 6 days a week 10 hrs and wash on cold. I closed the accounts and moved house..
after getting sent emails of late bills and collections again with calling up as much as I can weekly to try resolve
I got told by one staff member. That is correct something Is wrong here. We will investigate.. after a week another call and was told no the meter is accurate you need to pay this bill asap
This went on for 8 weeks. Eventually a person from Oz metering attend and came to the property and confirmed it was incorrect and not reading correctly..
There was no apology or anything just a reduction in the bill for the over charge (hundreds of $) and my in credit charges gone.

Customer service actually helped!!!
I had to call to try to prevent my gas from being disconnected, a call I was really dreading because of the same mental health struggles that got me well over a thousand dollars behind on my account. The customer service guy, Marcus, was absolutely excellent: respectful, informative, helpful and very patient, and now I'm all sorted out for the next 24 months with a payment plan on a cheaper deal than I had before. I know energy/utility companies have to provide assistance in these matters because I've had to avail myself of it more times than I'd like to admit, but this was the best experience I've ever had sorting out what was a great big embarrasing mess and now feels like a very manageable plan. I guess what was exceptional was being treated with dignity and compassion, like a human being and not just a problem.

All questions answered knowledgeably and in simple language. A laugh and I assume a smile also went a long way in getting through the required but detailed reading of terms and conditions.

I had changed to energy Australia as our pricing was too dear Only because they rang me and explained the pricing. Origin energy rang back with a better deal again I wonder if i had not done some careful checking. However Origin sales staff were extremely helpful at this instance so we stayed with origin Time will tell when i check the next billing cycle.

Gas bottle nearly $90??
I was shocked to see the price of my 13.5 kg LPG bottle increase from $66 to $87 in less than a year. That's almost a 32% increase, and nearly $90 for a single 13.5 kg bottle feels excessive.
I understand prices can go up, but this level of increase without any obvious added value is really disappointing. It has prompted me to start looking at other LPG suppliers because I no longer feel like I'm getting a fair deal as a loyal customer.
I hope Origin reviews its pricing, as I'm sure many long-term customers will be questioning whether it's worth staying.

Hi Erika, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concern about the increase in the cost of your LPG bottle and appreciate how disappointing this would be, particularly as a loyal customer. LPG prices can be influenced by a range of factors, including changes in wholesale market costs and operating expenses, but we understand that significant price increases can be frustrating. We'd like the opportunity to review your account and discuss your options with you. If you're open to it, please send us a PM on Facebook with your account details so we can take a closer look and see how we can help. Thanks - David
AI Brush off from serious customer complaint/enquiry
I received what looks like an AI slop brush off from a serious enquiry. None of my specific questions/issues were addressed or referred to, I merely received a generic AI response that meant nothing. Extremely bad customer service.

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.

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 .

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.
