Bill double the price

published

Do not go with these scammers! Like other posts apparently an email was sent with new rates which i never received and my bill is now double!! called to discuss and they couldn't do anything except put me on a payment plan. Canceling my plan and going elsewhere they are a joke.

They are a SCAM. Look cheap to start with but they will cheat you.

published

BEWARE!
They offer cheap prices to lure you in. They then increase your price without notice, and you cant change until the next meter reading. In the mean time they rip you off.
They increased my rate 50%, you only find out when they send you the bill. They say that they can do it in their contract. Im complaining to the ACCC as they are breaching many consumer laws IMO.

Worst energy company ever. 1 star is even too good for them.

published

Double your energy rate without telling you what the new rates are in the notification email. This company should be punished.

Cheating! Price doubled!

published

The rate went up by more than 50% without telling customers the exact new rate. I was shocked when receiving the new bill. Transfer to another company. Never go back! ! !

Beware - contract rolled over & doubled our rates

published

Do not sign up with Q ENERGY. Since this company moved off shore it delves in criminal activity!! I don't use those words lightly however we missed their sneaky contract roll over email which came under a different email address to the one the invoices are submitted on and we didn't know until the next bill came through that we had been stung with doubled rates. Try someone else but stay clear of this lot.

Price more than doubled! This is unashamed scam.

published

Ok by the other comments this is just policy with QEnergy. One year it was 17.8c/kWh then at the end of contract it went up to over 40c/kWh. I'm not sure if that can be legal. Yes, they send an email with the new rates in an attachment. You'll miss that if it goes in your spam folder though or you don't read the fine print. But you'll notice it when your bill for the month is more than double what you expected though.

They suck you in with a good rate and then double on renewal!!

published

I had a great rate with them, until all of a sudden without notice I get a bill that’s DOUBLED. I called immediately and the response I got was, your contract has been auto renewed due to no response!! I received NO SUCH EMAIL, I have received every bill, how come only this one went missing?? I have never defaulted and also been with this company for a very long time. They lose good customers due to greediness. I have moved my business account as well. Never again. I’m back with Momentum, great rates..

For your information Momentum’s comparison was 60% less than your last bill!!! Rip off
I have also filed a case with the Ombudsman as you cannot just renew at a extremely high rate without my consent. It’s against consumer laws.

Bait & Switch

published

Bait & Switch. Spent one year @ 16c per KW - which was best offer in my area (NSW 2758) - then email renewal sent to me with no notation to suggest other than I should re-new and everything would continue as normal ....BUT .....when you look at the tariff it has INCREASED by over 100% 16c to 35c per KWh. Dishonest and bordering on criminal in my opinion.

When the recontracting offer is over a 100% increase in the rate - that's 'bait & switch"

Unconscionable conduct

published

Got a letter from Qenergy saying that there was going to be a increase in my electricity rate. Nowhere in the letter does it say what the new rate will be! It simply says that the increase will be reflected on your next bill. Then 3 months later when the bill arrived my kwh rate and daily rate increased by 53% and well above competitors. This company is unconscionable. They knew that the increase was significant but deliberately withheld material information to enable customers to make an informed decision.

Correspondence does not say what the rate change is - let alone it being a 53% increase

Great Customer Support

published

Just transferred to QEnergy for electricity. Had some minor issues but quickly sorted by Dorie in Customer Service. Easy to contact by phone, calls promptly returned and issues sorted to my satisfaction.
Love the great competitive rates.

Better rates so far.

published

Changed over from EA to QEnergy, and have been saving around $250 a quarter, this has been a huge impact and I don't think we'll go back to the big energy companies.
Setup process was really quick and easy, although you cannot check your usage amount online and only once the quarter bill comes in.

Every year, look around and shop for a better price.

So far so good!

published

We only just changed over, so was a little concerned with all the negative reviews.
So far everything has been excellent. Everything has happened on time and as discussed.
There was one small hiccup with the first bill but they responded straight away to my query and it has been resolved. I was actually quite impressed that they even followed up to make sure I was kept informed of the resolution .
Great work that's how to keep customers happy....sometimes things do go wrong slightly but the measure of a good company is how well they resolve the issue.

Anytime.
I had issues originally with connection .. But I researched and the consumer laws RE: "Changeover Metering" make it difficult for Australian suppliers such as yourself to enter the Queensland Market Place.

Rip off rate jump

Nothing wrong with the supply but the price hike afterwards was unbelievable. Most companies will have a modest price rise from time to time, but 57.6% in one hit is unethical to say the least!

why would you want to switch to them.... I only owed them $700/ and was disconnected. Yes, I fell back with my payments, but I have a good reason " I had no money ". and now.... no electricity. I called them and was told that if I can pay half at the time of call they can put in the request for re connection which will take any time between 24 - 48hrs and the full balance must be paid the next day. Since i was still struggling financially I asked if I pay the requested half now can the balance please be made $100 a week (next 3 weeks) to which she said, I will have to put you through to the supervisor. When the supervisor came on she just rudely said, as they have been patient for the last few months I have only ONE option and that is to pay the full amount to get re connection done.
Even though I explained that the lady before offered to take only half to get reconnection she insisted that I now have to pay pretty much the full amount. got nowhere with my begging and she just said " ïf you dont want to pay then i am just going to end the call" - and so she did. By the way almost 5 yrs of service and i have never let bills get to this. this is loyalty.
There is NO care anymore.. its all about the money.
anyway, guess other retailers must be same. but i doubt they will disconnect for just $700 (that actually included the bill due end of this month too)
