If you cancel your mybudget services, do you have to pay the establishment fee upfront of are you given time to pay it off?
3 answers
From what I was told at our meeting is if you decided to leave then you have to pay it off but they do a payment plan :)
Was this recently? I'm just not finding it helpful and was thinking about leaving soon, but was wondering if the 1400 establishment fee has to be paid upfront of over time. I wonder what the payment plan would be like then of that's the case. Thanks for your answer

What timezone are these?
Dee T.asked
Reading some of these reviews and after my own experience with you I am gob smacked at some of what you do. Its deplorable, do you not feel any shame? I mean seriously? You have singled handedly ruined some ppl's lives here and you dont even give a damn. I dont for one minute believe all these glowing reports. What kinda company are you? Oh yeah, a crappy one that only cares about money. Shame on you MB shame shame shame.
1 answer
Yeah - all the positive reviews are fake - they should be reported. I remember when I was a customer the effort they would go to to try and get me to write a review with fed lines.
Mikeasked
Why are none of your positive reviews from Verified Customers?? Why do they all read like the first twenty seconds of a radio advertisement?
3 answers
lol even in their tv ads they have to say REAL MB customers cuz when they first started out they would use actors in different roles in different ads. Not only that but seems to me their service has not improved at all in 10 yrs so they gotta make themselves look good somehow cuz most ppl that have been with them regret it.
They really are terrible aren't they? STAY AWAY PEOPLE,
they are absolute shockers to say the least

If I require an amount of $50 - $60K to cover my current finances would My Budget be able to help to find a company to finance the loan
3 answers
You would habe to ask them on that sorry
My answer would be no. I asked them if they could recommend the best companies to save money when it comes to insurance, electricity, gas and so on...and they don’t do that. They only work with you to come up with a budget based on your take home pay so you are able to eliminate debt and pay bills on time.

What are the cost up front and does the price differ if I live in Bunbury Western Australia
4 answers
Well the cost depend on the service your after and i dont think it matters where in Australia you live
Fees are figured into your budget after they look at your income and expense. Fees are figured into budget once it is created. Once budget is created you will be able to look and see everything they are doing, what they are paying, what bills are on hold etc. Also, it does not matter where you are located in Australia as long as you are in Australia.
What percentage of the budget goes to them

MyBudgetMyBudget
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your question. Our budget plans are tailored to your individual situation, meaning that no two clients' fees are the same. As Samuel has mentioned above, any upfront/establishment fees charged to set up your budget are worked in to your budget plan solution and spread out over an affordable period of time to ensure that you are not financially impacted.
We also offer a free, no-obligation consultation where we create a budget plan that is yours to take home and keep, whether you decide to join or not! If you're interested in finding out more, I would suggest giving our team a call on 1300 300 922 (Option 2), and we can discuss this with you further. We look forward to speaking with you soon!
Thanks, Lauren - MyBudget
It’s not the fee that causes the tightness on the first few weeks. It’s getting through the first few billing cycles that have less time to save before the due date than what they would normally have.

My budget is a good fit for some people. Just not all and you mike clearly weren’t the right fit. If you can look after your own money by reading barefoot investor then you don’t need my budget. Stop bad mouthing them when they just weren’t what YOU needed. I’m happy to pay the fees knowing that I don’t have to stress about my bills and I don’t have time to look after my own budget. See, it works for me. Just wasn’t for you

Going with MB will leave you with no money whatsoever for things you need during the week, the fees are huge plus you pay an admin fee but they do not do what they say, I know, been there done that got out as soon as I could. Would NEVER recommend MB to anyone. There are much better and less expensive options out there.
Hey Dee, what was the cancellation process like for you? We are with mybudget but it just isnt working for us anymore but I worry about how messy the cancellation will be with getting all my finances sorted back into my accounts etc. Do they just leave you stranded?

Hi Craig I would highly recommend My Budget they truly help in any situation. They are simply amazing for budgeting
If you are just getting by then please consider that MB costs a lot! Not only is there the establishment fee, but they take their weekly fee before anything else is paid. They also make promises to do things that they just don't do so you end up spending a lot of time negotiating with people that MB don't pay when due that they leave you to manage. Think long and very hard!
