Noone is asking you to comment on my posting. I'm just interested to know if anyone else has the same experience or can suggest other…

I don't like to churn, but I'm forced to, due to tariff increases and bad service ...

I sometimes wonder how they can survive selling swimwear for $65 a pop. The margin must be quite high since I can't imagine the sales…

I didn't check the fine print word-for-word, I just checked the tariffs and other important figures. I never get charged for meter reading…
29/10/2025 - 19:27
No, they didn't mention anything about charging for special read.
29/10/2025 - 19:20
I switched retailers often and in my experience, they always estimated quite high on the first bill. It seems like they wanted you to chase…

not sure why my comment gets negged. It looks like I have to pay 3 months of direct debit based on estimated reads ...

I was with them 2 years ago and they were ok back then, at least I could send a self-read. Actually, my peeve with them is that they should…

I asked them to adjust the amount of direct debit but they said I must wait until the first bill is issued. They definitely didn't ask for…

thanks for the info, I'll try the app.
29/10/2025 - 19:05
yes, for special read

Based on my experience so far, Ovo is the first retailer that doesn't allow self-read. What are the others so that I know not to use them?
29/10/2025 - 15:19
actually it's $15 but I'm just wondering why since the previous retailer didn't charge me. They don't allow me to send self-meter reading…
29/10/2025 - 15:14
the monthly direct debit amount they charge is nearly 2.5 times my average monthly bill ...
29/10/2025 - 15:12
yeah, but the actual won't happen until mid-Dec so I will effectively get charged 3 months' worth of estimated reads before the actual ...

I'm in Brisbane, I don't think Lumo is available here but I'll check.

I switched retailers recently and the previous one didn't charge me ...
29/10/2025 - 15:08
switch to who? I've switched many times and not many others left in the acceptable tariff range.
29/10/2025 - 15:07
That's what I thought too. They told me there was a change in July 2024 from the regulator that allowed the switch to be done prior to the…
29/10/2025 - 15:05
No, that's why they still send someone to read.
29/10/2025 - 15:04
I just switched my electricity to Ovo and found out that I cannot send them a self-meter reading. Not only that but they are now charging…

What are the other Chess-sponsored platforms with $1 or less brokerage fee?
28/10/2025 - 13:53
This. About to mention it too but in most cases, my trades were less than $10k so still less than Stake.

Hi, do you know how to close the account? Can I do it on the app?
23/10/2025 - 18:14
Just got it today. Hope you get yours soon.

I joined on 14 Oct and got the $35 today. Already withdrew all of it since my $5 already lost 2 cents and I don't want to lose more. If a…
