Dave: I heard good things about Xero. Ditch MYOB and give Xero a try. I personally don't use cloud based accounting. I use Manager.io, which is a stand-alone app for small businesses. It does the job if you don't want anything special. --- Quote from: TerraHertz on October 08, 2020, 01:42:13 pm ---Oh, and if you own any actual physical gold? The government has a law in place by which they can take that too, any time they decide they want to. Check out the Australian Banking Act, section about gold. --- End quote --- In exchange for legal tender though - i.e. the bank is legally obligated to pay for it. Gold coins, jewellery and material that is being worked on by a gold smith is actually exempt. Now the issue is, the money you get in exchange might be losing value, which defeats the purpose of hoarding gold in the first place (if you are an investor). edit: Xero not Zero |

We have MYOB in NZ too, and its pretty common. It's also well know to be a pretty bad service. |

Hell, even Paypal can manage to do that. It must be such a common problem of people overlooking the need to update their credit card details in all necessary places. Without being expert in what exactly MYOB and Xero do I would have expected sending such notices automatically would also be part of their service their own customers use to ensure those small businesses' customers keep their card details up to date. |

The part that shits me is the whole thing is like a Nigerian billionaire scam. Everyone is surprised when they get done but the marketing is so slick that it seems like it's a necessity. It really isn't. Dave thinks he's in front because the company restored the account status to how it was previously. But what is the company prepared to offer him for the time to sort it out and the worry incurred during this event? Claiming that obsolete credit card info is the cause is a lame argument. The system is so sophisticated that they couldn't manage to detect a card nearing expiry and send a email? There are plenty of creditors, Apple is one and one domain host I had can leap over credit card expiry. The domain host I refer to was so persistent that I was forced to nuke the card. So I don't buy that argument at all. Not arguing with you Psi, just being a grumblebum. :) |

There are so many legitimate explanations and causes for somebody to fail to pay. Even when the client has the funds and is willing to pay for the service, what if they're in a traffic accident a day before the payment date. They could easily spent a month in hospital and suddenly two payment periods go by... poof, all data is gone. |O How can this policy be legal? --- End quote --- As I said. It's just a corporate bullying tactic. --- End quote --- Yep, don't know about Aussie regulation on financial data "minimum" retention period, pretty sure NOT 1 month. |
