Complaints Policy

Complaints Policy

What is a complaint?

A complaint can be described as an expression of dissatisfaction, discontent, resentment, and/or fault-finding. We acknowledge that you have the right to make a complaint.

Expressing a complaint

If you are dissatisfied about any aspect of ACN’s services we will advise you as to how to make and progress a complaint with us and we will handle your complaint in accordance with this policy.

Where you have expressed your dissatisfaction to us and it is unclear if you wish to make a complaint, we will always clarify with you whether you wish to do so, or not. Our complaint handling process is free of charge.

What is an urgent complaint?

We consider your complaint to be urgent if:

  • it is about a fault that could potentially endanger your safety
  • the issue would cause us to disconnect your service within seven days
  • the issue could lead to you experiencing financial hardship.

We immediately escalate urgent complaints to our Customer Relations Manager, who takes personal responsibility for resolving the urgent aspects of the complaint within two working days.

The only time where these timeframes may change, is where you agree to a different timeframe for resolution, or we need you to do something first in order to resolve the complaint.

How do I make a complaint to ACN Pacific?

If English is not your first language we will try to assign a Customer Service Representative who speaks your language. In the first instance we suggest the customer consider assigning a family member or friend as an advocate or authorised representative on their customer account. If this not possible and you still need an interpreter to help you with your enquiry, please consider contacting the Translating and Interpreting Service on 131450.

If you are unable to pay your bill, please read our Financial Hardship Policy.

Your authorised representative or advocate can also lodge a complaint on your behalf.

Complaint acknowledgement and response times

When we receive a complaint in person, or over the telephone, we acknowledge it as a complaint immediately. If we receive a complaint as a recorded message, we call you back within one working day.

When we receive a complaint in writing, we acknowledge it within two working days. ‘In writing’ includes complaints made by email or received through our website (such as Webchat) or via post.

What happens next?

Once you have contacted us, we will do everything possible to answer your question or provide a suitable solution while you are on the phone. We will give you a unique identification number so you can track your complaint and we’ll also keep in touch and inform you of the progress we have made to resolve your complaint. You can also contact us at any stage to check on or monitor the progress of your complaint.

Prioritisation of a complaint

Once your complaint is received by us, it is logged and given a priority based on the nature of the complaint.

Complaint type Priority Timeframe for Resolution
All Urgent Complaints 1 2 working days
Faults (non-urgent) 2 15 working days
Credit Management complaints 2 15 working days
Provisioning and connection or disconnection of service 2 15 working days
Customer Service 3 15 working days
Billing and Payment 3 15 working days
SFOA terms and conditions 3 15 working days

Please note:

  • Sometimes, we might not be able to resolve a complaint within the timeframes set out above. If that is the case, we’ll contact you and advise you of the reason for the delay, the new timeframe for resolution, and (where it is expected that the delay will be longer than 10 working days and is not caused by a notified mass outage of service) options for external dispute resolution including the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO).
  • Where we are unable to contact you to discuss your complaint, we will write and inform you that we have been unable to contact you, and provide details of our contact attempts. We will provide you with the opportunity to discuss the complaint with us within not less than ten working days of us sending you notice.
  • If we reasonably conclude that we can do nothing more to resolve the complaint or that the complaint is vexatious or frivolous, then we may decide not to deal, or not deal further, with the complaint. If so, we will advise you within five working days of the reasons for our decision and your options for external dispute resolution including the TIO.
  • Where you communicate to us that you:
    • are dissatisfied with the response times that apply to the handling or management of your complaint,
    • reasonably want your complaint to be escalated,
    • reasonably want your complaint to be re-assessed and/or treated as an urgent complaint

Then, within five working days (for complaints other than urgent complaints) or two working days (for urgent complaints), we will:

  • inform you of our internal prioritisation or escalation process and options for external dispute resolution including advice on how to contact the TIO. Escalated complaints and complaints which have been prioritised as urgent are referred to our Customer Relations Manager.
  • not cancel your service for the sole reason that you were unable to resolve the complaint directly with us and are pursuing options for external dispute resolution.

Resolution of a complaint

We will only put into place the resolution of your complaint once it has been discussed with and accepted by you. While we usually discuss your complaint with you by telephone, we are also happy to confirm matters with you via letter or email within five working days of the agreed resolution taking effect.

If you are not accepting of the complaint resolution we offer you, we will advise you how to seek external resolution of your complaint, including providing you with instruction as to how to access the services of the TIO.

The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (the TIO)

In the unlikely event that we can’t resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you then have the option to forward your complaint to the TIO.

Please note the TIO will only accept cases in which you have first tried to resolve the issue with us directly. The contact details for the TIO are as follows:

Financial Hardship Policy

ACN Pacific’s Financial Hardship Policy

Updated 1 August 2019
Statement of Intention
ACN Pacific is here to help. We will work with you to help you respond to financial hardship, whether temporary or long-term. We are committed to helping customers facing financial hardship maintain telecommunications access and working with you to find a sustainable solution. Any help we can give will depend on your individual circumstances, and we provide help on a case-by-case basis.
Definition of Financial Hardship
The Communications Alliance Telecommunications Consumer Protections Code defines financial hardship as: a situation where a Customer is unable, reasonably, because of illness, unemployment, being the victim of domestic or family violence, or other reasonable cause, to discharge their financial obligations under their contract with the Supplier and the Customer reasonably expects to be able to discharge those obligations if payment and/or Service arrangements were changed. Financial hardship can be of limited or long term duration.
Credit Management
In times of genuine financial hardship, customers and/or their financial counsellor deserve easy access to empathetic and skilled staff who can promptly address their circumstance or concerns. ACN Pacific will provide this service by training all staff in the general credit area to identify financial hardship customers. ACN Pacific expects its credit team members to act with compassion and sympathy, yet still manage the situation within business requirements. Credit staff are required to accept reasonable payment arrangements, taking into account each customer’s individual circumstances.
Identification of a Customer Experiencing Financial Hardship
ACN Pacific considers financial hardship a state that involves an inability of the customer to pay bills, rather than an unwillingness to do so. Financial hardship can arise from a variety of situations, and can be either of limited duration or long term. To illustrate, several of the common causes are listed below.
  • Loss of employment by the customer or family member.
  • Family breakdown.
  • Illness including physical incapacity, hospitalisation, or mental illness of the consumer or family member.
  • A death in the family.
  • Being the victim of domestic or family violence.
  • Abuse of the service by customer (e.g. from use of 190X numbers, GPRS).
  • Abuse of the service by a third party leaving the customer unable to pay the account.
  • Natural disaster.
In order to assess financial hardship our Credit staff may request the customer provide an income and expenditure budget, details of telecommunications services, contact details, and other details relevant to the particular circumstances.
Consumer Access to Financial Advisers
Customers who find they are experiencing financial hardship can find contact details of community financial counsellors or consumer advocates who deal with financial difficulty matters via the Federal Government’s MoneySmart website at moneysmart.gov.au.
Exploring Options for Keeping a Customer Connected
We will explore options to keep the customer connected. If applicable and depending on the particular circumstances, we will provide options with regard to spend controls, restriction of services, or transferring the customer to pre-paid services or contracts with hard caps or shaping if available. The duration and conditions of these options will vary and are subject to review.
Applying For and Reaching a Financial Arrangement
The basic principle of any agreed financial arrangement is that the repayment should be sufficient to cover expected future use of the service (as adjusted to ensure the customer’s financial position does not worsen over a reasonable period of time), as well as providing continued reduction of debt at a reasonable level (i.e. the customer should not be going into further debt under the arrangement). Our Credit staff will discuss with the customer their situation. They will explain to the customer how to minimise the cost of their service by using spend control tools and, where appropriate, suggest alternate plans or services that may better suit the customer’s circumstances.
If applicable and depending on the particular circumstances, we will provide options with regard to deferment or extensions of repayment periods, part-payment instalment plans, an alternative service or contract such as a pre-paid service if available, and, in limited cases, consider discounting or waiving certain service charges including incurred charges, late payment fees and cancellation fees. The duration and conditions of arrangements will vary and are subject to review.
When financial hardship arrangement terms are agreed, we confirm this verbally and/or in writing (in particular, if the customer requests the details in writing) and summarise the customer’s rights, obligations, and the consequences of failing to adhere to the agreed arrangement. An arrangement cannot commence until the customer has agreed to and accepted all of the terms.
The customer is responsible for: acknowledging the debt and their duty to repay it; providing adequate information for an accurate and informed assessment; being willing to moderate their usage to a level they are able to pay and adopt relevant service options to that end; making repayments as agreed; using suitable products, services and access levels, as negotiated with us; and informing us immediately if their contact details and/or financial position changes so that the customer’s arrangement can be reviewed.
Termination of a Financial Hardship Arrangement
A financial hardship arrangement will have an agreed end date. This means the arrangement terminates provided the account has then been paid by that date. The customer may also choose to complete all payments and terminate the arrangement prior to this time, should their circumstances change. If a customer does not follow the terms of the arrangement, we may terminate the arrangement. Our Credit team will attempt to contact the customer via phone, SMS or email and if no contact is made they will send a letter. If the customer does not contact the Credit team within 7 days of the date of that letter, the customer’s account will be sent to collections.

Use of authorized representatives & advocates
Authorized representatives
We offer our customers the right to nominate an authorized representative to act on their behalf for service inquiries, payments and updating contact details. This nomination requires the customer to agree that any instructions or directions from any such representative are binding on them.
To nominate an authorized representative we ask the customer to provide their verbal authorization and/or a power of attorney or similar written authority. We take care to ensure they understand what they are authorizing the other party to do on their behalf.
We keep a record of when the representative was appointed and any changes the customer makes to their authority, or any changes to their personal circumstances we are notified of that may affect the representative’s role.
Advocates
If a customer requests it, we accept calls and written communications on their behalf from an advocate. If a customer wants to use an advocate, we explain to them that the advocate is not authorized to:
  • request services or modify existing services
  • make changes to the customer’s account
  • act on their behalf
  • request their personal information
If a customer wants a third party to have the power to do these things then we ask them to nominate that person as their authorized representative.
We provide security tools
Security tools are tools that can prevent unauthorized access to or use of a telecommunications service.
The MyAccount service, available on the ACN Pacific website, gives our customers access to a range of security and spend management tools. With the exception of DPS and mobile broadband services, customers can bar and un-bar a range of call types through MyAccount. We provide all but one of these tools free of charge and customers can get assistance in using them by calling our Contact Centre. We also provide written instructions within five days if a customer requests this.
For fixed line services
Our customers can contact Customer Services to permanently bar certain call types such as International, 0900, Local, STD and mobile.
Our customers also have the ability to bar certain call types via MyAccount to one of the following levels:
  • Bar all outgoing (Emergency '000' calls allowed)
  • Allow local calls only
  • Allow local, national and mobile calls only
  • Allow local, national, mobile and international calls only
  • Allow local, national, mobile, international and 1900 calls.
It takes up to 48 hours to provision the change on the line.
  • To bar and un-bar DPS services You will need to contact our customer service team.
  • Broadband All ADSL internet devices (i.e. modems and routers) we supply come with a password option that restricts usage of a customer’s ADSL (broadband internet) service to the password holder. We also provide our customers with information and access to a range of internet security tools and filters.
  • Silent line fee exemption service ACN provides a concession to eligible residential fixed line customers who require a silent line and who are facing a safety risk due to a domestic violence situation. The standard charge for the Silent Line feature is $2.93 (incl. GST) per month.
    ACN will provide an exemption from this fee to any ACN Home Phone customer who provides information confirming that they:
  • have a valid court or police issued protection order, or
  • are a client of a Centrelink social worker, or
  • are a client of a community or legal aid organisation providing services to people facing a personal safety threat, or
  • are a staff member, volunteer or contractor of a community organisation providing services to people facing a personal safety threat, and are considered by the organisation to be facing a personal safety themselves.
ACN will waiver the Silent Line fee for up to two years.

Scope of the CSG

The CSG Standard covers the supply of standard fixed-line telephone services, including voice grade services and some other services used to access the internet or for fax machines. Certain special call-handling features, when activated by a telephone company, are also covered by the CSG, including call waiting, call forwarding, call barring, calling number display and calling number display blocking.

Earning Statement

RVPs and SVPs (including Circle of Champions members) earn annual income achieved by fewer than 1% of ACN IBOs. Their success stories and earnings are extraordinary and not typical. Earnings as an ACN IBO are based solely upon the successful sale of products to customers and their usage of those products. Individuals will incur expenses in operating their ACN business, such as the sign-up fee and renewal fee, as well as other possible operating expenses. As with any business, earnings and success at ACN are not guaranteed but depend primarily on the individual’s commitment, persistence and effort. Individuals may not earn income and may lose money as an IBO.
