Advice on changing file ownership

Hi - my accountant has my MYOB set up with themselves being the Administrator / Owner, and myself (sole trader / business owner) as just a file user. I want to move away from that accountant but they are not responding to my emails in regards to change of file ownership. My subscription is under a Partner Program (all paid up to date). They have now changed my ability to 'read only' 

 

MYOB keeps responding saying that I need the owner to notify them of the change. Has anyone else been in this situation? As a sole trader, all of the information within the file clearly relates to my small business. 

 

If not resolved quickly I will seek legal advice, just needing to know if there is a work around option before we go down this path.

    Hi Adrian,

    Thank you for your reply. Contacting MYOB directly, by submitting a completed change of primary contact form was the first thing I did. Very difficult if the original 'owner' doesn't co-operate. 

    Currently looking at having a third party assist. 

    I have always enjoyed using MYOB for business, but feeling very let down by the lack of real support - no phone number to call, and days between response emails. 

Looking for something else?
