Do Australian banks discriminate the Pensioner or are they Ignorant of foreign Pension

  My recent experience with two of the Australian banks indicates that they both either discriminate the pensioner and or are ignorant of what a foreign pension income really is.   This applies to two of Australia’s big four banks Commonwealth Bank and the ANZ Banks. Since I banked with the ANZ bank for over 30 year I will discuss the issue with regards this bank but it equally applies to the other bank. I had recently applied for a home loan for X K dollars for the purchase of a house to the value of 2x K dollars.   For the first time I used the help of a broker, I am not sure whether this was a mistake.   The reason that I even applied for a loan was because of Brexit the GPB had lost its value against the AUD and I needed time to rearrange my finances.   1.       Both my wife and I are UK pensioners we each have three UK pensions. a.       A works pension from the NHS. b.     ...

S A Water Rips off Customers

British Pensioner Successfully Sues Australian Electricity Giants

I am a British Pensioner and lives in Adelaide South Australia for the last 4 years. On the first of February 2018 electricity was turned off to my residence by S A Power Network. A note was stuck into my front door to state that this was at the advice of my Electicity Retailer. I had until that time received no previous communication either from my energy retailer or from S A Power Network. My electricity retailer was Simply Energy with whom I had a contract for the supply of Electricity and Gas for two year period beginning from the 12th September 2016. I therefore contacted Simply Energy my retailer who informed me that my account had been transferred to AGL. (A company that I had never heard of before that date). Simply Energy were unable to give me any explanation as to how or why the account was transferred to AGL when I had a legally binding contract with them. They were also unable to reconnect me for more than 36 hours. I had to rely on AGL to finally issue instructions t...
