If I could give them a zero I would

C bus is the most incompetent and deceitful company I have ever dealt with
Not only have they lost me money over the past few years but still claim to be making a 7% or more profit on the advertising
I had a claim in for me dead wife’s super that was willed to me as well as being sole beneficiary and Cbus did everything in there power to hold the money back ..IE lost certified documents, double ups of most documents as first one were supposedly lost. Weeks to reply to emails
Even after complaining to there. Complaints department was told to wait thirty days for a reply
Due to to the high number of complaints
This company should be investigated by the ombudsman

Nothing had happened

Nearly a year ago, I had called them to change my maiden name into my marriage name with my new address. They told me, I need to fill out a form and mail it to them which I did. Little did I know, they were still sending mails to my parents house which still got my maiden name on it. Can’t believe they never done anything at all.

Defrauded

If the Ombudsman was actively coherent, this organisation would not exist.
My situation is exactly the same as most here. Withholding funds, factual manipulation, nil clarity, mismanagement, defrauding, just to name a few.
30+ years with this syndicate.
Have been trying to roll out, but it’s their money, obviously!!!!!
A class action is imminent.

Disappointed long time member

Been with them from when i started working as a teenager, trying to swap over to an income stream has been nothing but a disaster, customer service is non existent, get different responses and no answers as to what is actually going on with zero communication and reply's to our countless phone calls we are having to make. What a mess, so disappointed, thinking about rolling it over to another provider when it finally all gets sorted out.

Terrible, stay away!!

Horrible customer service.
After I transfer my account to another super fund
I contacted Cbus about the large amount of deduction, they kept me on hold for a very long time and never got any response so I called them back again and they kept hanging on me.
Stay away from cbus they take your money and you never be able to get it back.

Currently I am dissatisfied as I have been told my super was being processed when this was not in fact the case.

My issue is I was told my claim was being processed and would be in my account in 2/3 days. This information was completely inaccurate.

THREE DAYS to send a statement

Their website doesn't work - when trying to download a statement I get the following error: "Sorry, an error occurred on the system. Please try again later or call Cbus on 1300 361 784"

Call the number and it takes them THREE DAYS to email a statement because apparently someone has to manually password protect a document.

THREE.

DAYS.

****ing hopeless.

A week later and I still haven't received a statement. Finance for a house build is waiting on this, these muppets are holding it up.

Absolutely hopeless, CBus can't be trusted
