How to cancel Agl

Preparing to cancel

Gather your account number, recent bills and proof of identity before you contact Agl. Check for any contract minimum terms or notice periods that may apply.

Cancellation steps

• Contact customer service through the account portal or official contact channel listed on your bill.
• Provide your account number, full name, and the date you want supply to stop.
• Request a final meter reading or arrange a final bill based on an actual reading.
• Ask for confirmation in writing (email or letter) and a final account statement showing any refund or outstanding balance.
• If you cancel on behalf of someone else, provide written authorisation and acceptable ID as required.

What happens when you cancel

Service access and final readings

Supply will be scheduled to stop on the requested date subject to operational constraints. A final meter reading may be taken to calculate the final bill.

Account closure and records

After cancellation the account is closed and a final statement is issued. Account records are normally retained by the provider for a statutory period.

Will I get a refund?

Standard policy

Refunds depend on whether your account has a credit balance after the final bill and any applicable fees are applied. Providers usually deduct outstanding charges before issuing refunds.

Possible exceptions

• Prepaid accounts: unused credit is treated according to the specific prepaid terms.
• Deposits: refundable deposits may be returned after final reconciliation.
• Disputed charges: refunds related to disputes may be delayed pending investigation.
