How to lodge a complaint with Australian Financial Complaints Authority. Overcharge of $12,177.00

Hi Community Users - See below email sent to MYOB today. Details will follow on how to lodge a complaint.

Dear MYOB

Please be advised I have lodged a formal complaint against MYOB with AFCA for overcharging an unauthorised amount of $12,177.00 to my credit card.

 

I received the attached incorrect invoice on 24th July 2026.

 

I had already paid an annual subscription on 23rd April 2026 for $10,692.00.

 

I lodged an online support request through MYOB MyAccount on 24th July and followed it up with a phone call to MYOB on 24th July.  I was told to ignore the invoice as it was clearly an error, and it was confirmed I had already paid the annual subscription in advance. I was provided with a case number #03250349.

 

When I noticed the charge on my card today, I immediately called MYOB to try and receive a refund. I was told that I needed to be patient and wait for someone from the billing team to contact me. When I asked for a phone number or email I was told this was not possible.

 

 

you can lodge a complaint with AFCA by contacting them using the following methods:

Phone:

1800 931 678 (free call)

Mail:

Australian Financial Complaints Authority GPO Box 3 Melbourne VIC 3001

Email:

[email protected]

Website:

Good luck to everyone navigating the appalling service from MYOB.

    Hi Rv8pilot,

     

    Waiting this long for your file conversion is definitely not how we want things to go, and I understand how frustrating it must be.

     

    Our Migration team is currently handling a higher volume of requests, so conversions may take a little longer than usual. I'd be happy to look into this for you, could you please share your case number? I’ll follow up with the team and keep you updated.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

  • I’m still waiting a month now for a simple file conversion from account right to business lite, I also paid a years subscription and charged but absolutely nothing has happened, so thanks for the info Michelle, I will be ringing AFCA today!
