Painfully ignorant and arrogant
I called ioof to get financial hardship forms and I was told they would send them via post. A week and a half later I called to advise I had not received anything and I was told they would email me the forms. The next day I called to advise no email had been received, then again the next day, then the next, a week later they arrived, in the post and via email. With my financial hardship turning to financial ruin I sent back the forms with the required identification and proof of my debts via express post. A week later I called to see if they re...Read more
ceived and they said they had not. I knew something was not right so I called back 5 mins later to double check and I was told it had arrived but my application couldn't be assessed until I supplied a centerlink PAYG summary for 2014/15 financial year. Making a conscious effort not to swear, I began venting my frustration. And before I had finished they decided to end the call. Because it just ticked past office hours I was unable to contact them again until the following Monday. Furious and Financially bad, I called to tell them my 2014/15 PAYG was $0 and asked if I could forward the statement emailed to me in an attachment from centerlink to quicken the shambolic process and this was approved. Another week past by and I had not heard anything so I called to see if there was a problem and was informed the emailed attachment I sent was not acceptable and that I had to send the original statement via post. Confused over the logic I needed to clarify if the the first print out was deemed as the original and that any print out after would be deemed a copy. In a condescending tone I was told this was correct and that I should know the answer. I was also made aware that if I had of sent the correct forms the process would be quicker. Now I'm at fault? I demanded a supervisor and was told no one available and they would return my call. The next day I received a call and was told it was being assessed and I should receive payment by the end of the week. The following Tuesday I called to find out what was going on and I was informed the process had not begun and it would take 7-10 business days. It has been 7 weeks since I requested the forms and I don't know if it has been approved or denied. Customer service does not exist in there dojo so don't expect any don't expect any compassion either. What you can expect is a whole lot of ignorance and arrogance.Similar opinion?

Switch from this super as fast as possible
Words can't describe how bad this super company is. Been young I never really looked into my super that much. Recently I found out they had opened two super accounts in my name and charging fees for both when I never gave permission to this. What is worst they started to roll over all my super into a high risk super account at about 70% risk? This is a complete joke to do something so silly at during 2016 with stock markets as they are. As soon as I found out I switched all my super out of the account.

The customer service has been the poorest or poorest, and that is dealing with a number of member with the company.. Ive now changed super company due to the way ive been spoken to. No help or advice. Sorry to say but highly do not recommend.

s area what to do, as TAL tell IOOF what to do..watch out for them because they know every trick in the book .Don't think for a second that they even remotely care about your health all they care about is saving there own backsides and ripping as much money as they possibly can out of you, in my personal experiences the last thing and I mean the last thing they care about is your health.

s a joke.This so called expert missed that I had Chronic nerve damage right leg, enlarged prostate, arthritis right knee, PTSD,, inguinal hernia and Genitofemoral nerve damage . Like a psychiatrist knows all about these conditions.This particular case is 10 times worse than the case which has been mentioned in the banking royal commission .Similar opinion?

Don't switch your super to them!
The amount of times I have changed my address in the system, in writing and over the phone yet I still get letters sent to ALL of my old addresses including my current address (how is that even possible?). It is so difficult to get straight answers from them and when you email they will almost never reply. I changed jobs and have had to follow them up countless times to alter my plan (it's been over four months and still nothing has been altered). I can't believe I trusted them with my super. Please do not switch your super to them. I will be changing very soon!

A joke in every sense!
I need an hour to advise you of all the issues with IOOF. Simply their unprofessional, slow, rude, incompetent - especially client services in Melbourne (99% in there are useless) & insurance claims in Hobart!
One of the worst companies I've ever had to associate myself with. Ive employed a law firm to deal with them on my behalf because they causing me more health issues than I already have! Stay away at all costs when it comes to investments (rip off fees) and insurance products.

Incompetent systems & process, poor service!
Had very Bad experience with this company:
* Investment switch online failed three times.
* No formal acknowledgement of your investment switch with applicable unit prices.
* Rollover request takes forever, there is no SLA.
* Customer complaints are respond to very slowly.
* Yearly statement does not recorded all transactions, they sold your investments to bump up the cash account without letting you know.
* Poor documentation and customer communications.
Consider the high fees they charged and poor service, there are better options elsewhere.

No customer service
Impossible trying to deal with IOOF. Unfriendly over the phone, they dont call you back or acknowledge written correspondence. They are happy to take your money but try getting it out when you retire? Even when you fill in all their forms and prove your identity, this is not enough. Maybe they are in financial difficulty. Wouldnt recommend any of their products to anyone.
Tomorrow I put in a formal complaint to the Superannuation tribunal.
Toatally unresponsive and inefficient company
