Do not pay by direct debit EVER

published

If you choose to pay by Direct Debit Simply energy will never take the discounted amount, effectively the price you get if you pay by a certain date, they will ALWAYS charge you the highest price. A downright dirty tactic.

They will not run direct debit on your last bill!!

published

My direct debit has always been configured properly. But they intentionally didnt do direct debit on the last bill for the obvious reason.
Just remembwr yo oay your last bill manually to avoid any additional charges.

Terrible rip-off merchants! Avoid at all costs!

published

These scammers make money out of others misfortune. People who live hand to mouth sometimes are a day or two late in paying bills. These scum charge over $75 in late payment fees even if you are a day late. No heart or compassion. Their customer 'service' is non existent. No reply online and I was on hold for over 45 minutes and finally gave up. Avoid this company at all costs!!!!!

Dont think my family of 3 would use that much klw

published

joined simply energy 6months ago, customer service was not bad all, I can always reach them within few min, but things got kinda confusing when I started getting bills from them.
My wife and I we both work full time 5-6days a week and my 3 year old daughter goes to day care 4days a week...
How come on earth we could possibly use 1255 kwh in 69 days???
I did try to call them and ask how is it possible? It doesn't make sense at all but all their "explanations" are thats what they read from my meter.
The gas bill was high but not ridiculous enough to made me doubt that simply energy is robbing me off.
I have no choice but to choose other energy company.

No problems with this provider

published

I've been with them since they first started in 2006??? - can't remember what they were called then - no issues, even moved house twice and connection easy. Pricing seems good, they call/email advise new products and compare existing to new offer. Family are with them too - no complaints from them. I'm on legacy contract which seems cheaper than the other providers. I switched from AGL years ago who were the worst provider I ever had. No issues with Simply Energy even installing Solar.

It is a terrible company!

published

Never respond on time, takes ages to wait for them to answer the phone. And a brunch of idiots who knows anything and can't offer any help but transferring your phone call to someone else.

I have an issue since earlier April. After many email and phone calls, still unable to solve for me. They even make it worse!

UNSOLICITED SCAMMERS

published

I received an unsolicited 9 page letter from this mob of scammers ; on 28/5/20 that was worded in such a manner to give me the impression I had requested their services ! The letter even had a 11 letter & number " Document Number " to add authenticity to their UNSOLICITED correspondence . I already knew it was a scam and then confirmed my suspicions after reading the multitude of NEGATIVE reviews on this site .

Electricity, gas, solar. Change over process is not resolved 5 months on. Reliable power and no drop outs. Just filling 30 word quota to submit a review that's not positive.

Stay away

published

Called them a week before I moved to have the power transferred to new house. 2 days of constant calls to them and begging to have the power turned on after I had moved and still no power only very vague and disinterested man on the helpline. Called another company and had power within 3 hours. Stay clear of this dodgy unprofessional company. I have no idea how they're even allowed to be in this country. Scammers.

Your electricity bills will make no sense and go up and up. If you call them you will be answered by Karen who will say 'I can see you owe this much'. When you ask why Karen will say 'I can see'. Karen can see, she can read inflated figures from her computer screen, but she can't understand. Cancel your contract while you still have time.

I'm just talking from my experience with this company. They're terrible and their only response to my 'how?' regarding my overcharged bill was 'I can see that is the correct bill so there is nothing we can do'
where's the explanation. Also, the fact that our usage is only for the average family of 5, no business operating makes this completely ridiculous. In the end, it's your choice maybe I was just one of the unlucky ones who knows

Prada, Did you complain to the energy ombudsmen about your concern?
