Refund enquiry

[Kezry]

I have bill smoothing fortnightly payments set up with AGL. This morning I made the payment online but when I changed the pre filled amount paying box it changed back when the page refreshed and I didn't realise, so paid the entire amount instead of my $94 payment. My bank can't cancel it and agl have said they won't receive it till Monday but generally only refund if the account is in credit, mine won't be it will just be paid off. They have left me with nothing, I urgently need that money to feed my family, has anyone had anything like this happen and convinced them to refund?

I'll stand corrected but bill smoothing has quite strict rules and I would be surprised if a refund would be possible but you can only ask. Depending on the meter you have, smart or otherwise, in your position I would tend to read it, work out your bill to date and pay it off yourself as you see fit, that way your in control. Remember also bill smoothing is via an 'estimated figure' , often not in your favour if you Google complaints on Bill smoothing.

Hi @Kezry

Shouldn't be an issue, pop us some details via private message such as your account number, once we receive the payment we should be able to refund the difference between the bill smoothing payment and the amount you sent through to us.

I was really happy with smooth billing. But I have had 3adults and a toddler move out so my electricity bills are not even close but I have still been charged with the same payment to be now at the point where I am $733 in credit. I love to be a bit in front but I do have other bills that need that money. I would like to be able to apply for a refund but they make it so difficult for the average person. Any advice
