Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem here, for the last few months i have been trying to pull out and close my super account.
I originally had one, that was opened by a previous employer when i was working full time, since then the amount has been eaten at constantly and everytime i contact the fund they say that they will send the forms, they never do!!
Now that i'm 18 i'm unsure if i can take out the funds without good cause, and to make it even better, i now have two super funds.
I'd rather close both super accounts, take my money and run, i really need to pay off my debt before i move out. And i was thinking that my super would be a good option, there's not much, maybe a couple of hundred in each if that. But anything helps.
Plus when i get a new employer i can always open another one, because at present i have two that aren't earning anything, and i don't need it since i'm not employed full time.
If i can't take out the money at the very least i want to put them together, but it seems that the fund i've wanted to take my money out of for ages is useless so they may never do it!
So i really want to know, has anyone withdrawn from their super/closed their account, and how i would go about this since i've been trying to do so for a while.
Thanks, Sam.
