What a sh*t show this company is!
Update 2/12/2025
Well, I was hoping to report back with a positive update, but true to form I've been let down yet again by MYOB support!
I'm not sure what country their support team is based in, but I suspect it's the Philippines (not that I have a problem with that, if the performance is there I don't care where they are based) and I further suspect that they are paid on a KPI basis, but without the 'Performance' aspect, based more on number of contacts with the customer.
After going around and around in circles with their so-called support, it became glaringly obvious that these people knew next to nothing about the software they were attempting to fix, and seemingly worked from a 'play book' of common issues that affected their newer software.
So, ultimately they were completely lost with legacy software. Not that it stopped them from messing me around for days on end.
I even asked them if I could send my company file to run the tool/script (that I know they have) over it to fix the problems, but was ignored.
In the end I gave up on them and will not bother contacting them again as it is a total waste of time!
If anyone is wondering, I ended up finding a company that has nothing to do with MYOB and from the first contact they understood the issues and had the tools to solve them.
Yes, we had to pay a moderate fee (nothing in the big picture) to have our issues sorted, by people that know what they are doing.
Why MYOB can't do this themselves is one of life's great mysteries!
*********************************************
Another day another complete waste of time trying to get support from MYOB!
Having an issue upgrading to the new version of AccountRight SE from AccountRight Enterprise v19.8 (which is being forced upon customers by MYOB) and spent over 2 hours on the phone getting transferred to one department after another, all of which were incorrect and could not assist.
I'd say it was unbelievable, but sadly it isn't - this is exactly what I expected would happen and why I delayed trying to contact their 'support'.
So now I'm in the situation of being forced to upgrade to a new version of MYOB, but their software won't let me due to what I believe is a relatively minor issue, now I have no idea what to do...
