Customer Correspondence
Customers will receive a letter when a deduction has been set up, changed or cancelled. In addition to the letter, some customers will also receive an SMS.
SMS messages will be sent when a Centrepay deduction is set up, changed, cancelled, suspended (and resumed) by either the Centrepay Business or the agency. SMS messages are not sent where the customer has managed their deduction through their online channel/s.
To encourage customers to manage their deductions they will also receive an SMS notification when a:
- deduction has been in place, unchanged for 12 months
- second deduction has been commenced for the same service reason (i.e. two deductions for electricity)
- target amount or end date is reached
- partial or a nil Centrepay payment has been made
SMS messages will promote online services as the preferred method to manage their deductions.
To be eligible to receive Centrepay SMS messaging a customer must:
- be subscribed to Electronic Messages, and
- not have a nominee arrangement
