Click Energy fined $900,000 for misleading marketing
Power retailer Click Energy has been fined $900,000 by the Federal Court for making false or misleading marketing claims over potential discounts and savings.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission launched the case in July 2018, alleging publicised discounts were inflated by the Amaysim-owned company and that the company didn’t disclose conditions for early payment discounts.

The most dodge company. Few months backs giving a life time discount now will inflated rates. Now changing the same customer to the defaults offer.
