INCOMPETENT COMPANY WITH INCOMPETENT EMPLOYEES have been on the phone for hours with…

I have been on the phone for hours with representatives at Capital Group regarding information on rolling over an 401K distribution from a former employer to an existing IRA account. I was transferred numerous times to different departments where each representative gave me different information and also incorrect information per the other representatives I had spoken to. They were no help what so ever-even being rude at times!! I never received an answer to my issue!! Very Disappointed and I finally gave up! I will post this review on all social media sites to make potential customers aware of what to expect when doing business with them! I wouldn't recommend doing business with this company-you may regret it!

Do not use this company

Whatever you do - Do Not use this company if you live outside the USA or ever intend to live outside the U.S.
They are happy to take your funds but it is almost impossible to get your money out again.

American Funds is the most dishonest…

American Funds is the most dishonest and vile company that I have ever encountered in finance. They are very, very dishonest people. Arrogant, sanctimonious, self-important, nasty, rotten people. And crooked to the marrow of their bones. I used to think the world of the mutual fund industry, until I learned from American Funds what it's really all about. It's about the super-jumbo fund sponsors like American Funds stepping on and spitting on the little people, whenever they feel like it. And when they get called out on something crooked they did, they send expensive lawyers to lie and bully for them. They are a vile company. Truly vile. Rotten to the core.

I have always like this company

I have always like this company, I needed them to write a letter saying that I will have them for another 40 months , they stated that they can not do this,so I asked them to state the amount In the account, they stated that they can not do that, all they can do Is put In the date when I started the account, that's ok then, but It did not work for AAG , In which I was trying to get a reverse Mortgage.
