Horrible customer service! RIP OFFS!

Absolutely horrible customer service!
I have made separate payments each fortnight to allocate payments directly and pay off smaller expenses while also paying off interest free ones. My payments are never allocated as requested, payments are sprinkled over other expenses all Willy-nilly in their best interest so we have to pay more billed charges!
Horrible mannerism from the customer service reps and repeatedly declined statements to see how much left is owing and to check allocations have been fulfilled.
Spoke to the supervisor and was not put through to any one in a higher position as I requested.

DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!

Worst customer service ever....I'm not recommending them to anyone. They dont even deserve a 1. If you have an enquiry, they will either put you on hold for such a long time or automatically disconnect the calls. I'm soo pissed off by the company. Do not waste your time and energy going through this company!!!

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. It's a real headache to follow up. Inappropriate credit limit calculation. No empathy towards customers. They just don't understand the business.

I made use of the interest free…

I made use of the interest free periods. I made one purchase with a shorter interest free time. About a year later I purchased an appliance from Harvey Norman and it had a longer settlement . I thought I would pay extra so as to be free from interest. All my extra payments were put onto the purchase that was due much later. I jumped hoops to get through to them, finally speaking to a “manager”. No changes. I am now paying interest on the one that’s run out off interest free time and my purchase due in around 3 years is almost paid off. They then stopped sending me my allocations on my statement. Sneaky. Should be illegal. Will pay in full shortly and cancel the card.

The employees have all disappeared

I don't blame the company for the cyber attack but I am appalled by their way of communication (none whatsoever) and responsibility to their customers. Thanks to Gem my credit now looks bad. There is literally nobody to talk to about my current loan balance as the app shows no changes or payment updates. Very bad for business

I am about a week away from seeking…

I am about a week away from seeking legal advice. Over two months and no allocation for a payment my insurance company when my car was written off. I have spent HOURS on hold to get hung up on, told we can’t help you call your insurance company, we haven’t had any payment or communication from them, request a statement and see if the payments on there, literally “we don’t know”. I have even called my insurance company to have them make direct contact on my behalf to solve this, they said we can’t speak to you, my insurance case manager called me afterwards to inform me and said she strongly urged them to make contact with me to sort this out and explained the stress of the situation. STILL NOTHING. Placed a formal complaint only to get sent another statement with nothing on it?! On top of all of this, all my identity documents were stolen and I have zero idea how to replace it?! Utterly useless and so disappointed in this place.

Fraudulent promise

You lot lost my personal information with a cyber attack on your sight, you told us to go renew our drivers licence for safety, and also said you would reimburse the fee, well it's been weeks now and no payment, everytime you ring the staff you have are as helpful as a brick, they know nothing and won't be able to help.
You lot are liars and frauds as you won't pay out, shame on you

Do not trust this company

This company has "lost" thousands of customers personal details and now won't answer their calls. Do not apply with these people they will cost you money and offer nothing in return

Ripoff beware!!

Every month i am charge 3x billed finance charges on the same balance, plus an account service fee plus a payment handling fee. on a ballance of $4800 comes to $112 per month in interest. 3 separate fees for ! ballance , and after speaking to someone in India I'm told I have 3 accounts which only one shows up on their site in Australia . Do not deal with these people under any circumstances!! I'm paying out and getting out!

Worst experience I had from Gem

Worst experience I had from Gem. Unfriendly and unpatience staff member when they want to sell a product and now I've been trying for 3 weeks to get hold of them with no success, just to get a settlement amount. I would not recommend Gem to anyone.

It was around 9:45 am today, I called to Gem customer service centre. My request was handled by a girl on another side. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. She listened me and then she explained me everything regarding my problem and she tried her best to sort it out. She has broad horizon of thinking power and understanding. I am very much happy and satisfied with her customer service. I would like to rate her 11 out of 10, if its possible. It was more than excellent service. Thnak you very much rep.

Pathetic services

Pathetic services, I had a problem updating my date of birth and spoke to staffs to correct but could not help me. They stressed me out and would not help me.
Only way to get in touch is via calling but can not send an email.
Really bad options and services.

I went through the no asset procedure as my situation went really bad during covid and after. I informed them and they would not stop sending me an email regarding the payment. I wonder if the company i also struggling.

This must be the worst finance company…

This must be the worst finance company to try and get a VISA card with! They make the process exceptionally difficult for a very small limit, even if you have got a AAA credit rating, it's harder than getting a mortgage from the Bank
