This document outlines our service commitment to you, in respect of the Direct Debit Request (DDR) arrangements made between Tas Gas Retail and you. It sets out your rights, our commitment to you and your responsibilities to us together with where you should go for assistance.
In terms of the Direct Debit Request arrangements made between us and signed by you, we undertake to periodically debit your nominated account for the agreed amount for payment of your gas account.
The first drawing under this Direct Debit arrangement will occur on the due date of your next gas invoice.
If any drawing falls due on a non-business day, it will be debited to your account on the next business day following the scheduled drawing date.
We will give you at least 14 days notice in writing when changes to the initial terms of the arrangement are made. This notice will state the new amount, frequency and any other changes to the initial terms.
If you wish to discuss any changes to the initial terms, you can contact us by writing to Tas Gas Retail, PO Box 858, Launceston TAS 7250 or phoning us on 1800 438 427.
