Australian Super to the $rescue!

OMG! We're $afloat again! The credit card lives :)

And not a moment too soon. Thanks to that fucked up super fund HESTA (that name again, HESTA) who refused David's application to get $10,000 out for severe financial hardship, we were thrown headlong into abject poverty whilst we transferred David's super money to Australian Super. For about two weeks we were poorer than either of us had ever been before. I've never had to go to a charity for food before in my life. A week behind in the rent. The credit card was $300 over the limit, us wondering when it was going to get declined. Using gift vouchers that came to buy groceries. It was absolutely diabolical. Thank you HESTA for that. You are a really unfair and fucked up super fund. I would advise anyone in HESTA to roll their money over to another fund.

Australian Super was an entirely different story. The application was all done online, even including proving David's identity. There were no life history questions, not detailed report on personal finances, no explanation needed of how he ended up in this predicament. Just one question about debts, and he wrote the credit card debt. Just four days after lodging the application, the money was in his account. David couldn't believe how easy it was. I said that's why I was shocked at how HESTA was carrying on about it and that they'd fuckin rejected the bloody claim FFS. 

So thank you Australian Super for being such a good fund :) I would highly recommend it to anyone. HESTA really lost out with this. Because they rejected the claim of David's, he rolled his entire super balance of over $60,000 to Australian Super. Hesta lost the lot. And now both David and I are telling all how fucked they are.
