Powershop Under Fire Over Bills and App | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Powershop’s new app and price hikes are sparking outrage as customers report sky-high bills—some hitting $27,000 in one day—and zero response from customer service. Despite CEO Lisa Hannifin blaming seasonal usage and external factors like transmission costs, users say the app’s glitches and lack of support are driving them to switch providers. Consumer NZ is urging customers to use Powerswitch, with hundreds already leaving Powershop amid a flood of complaints.
