Best thing about ACC ...
The best thing about ACC is - NOT having to deal with them.
This year has been really great because I did not have anything to do with those corrupt and dishonest bastards that work for ACC and call themselves managers. I have not met one within ACC called a manager who could manage their way out of a paper bag.
Being kicked off ACC income support ( illegally ) by my case manager Michelle Barr of Northwood branch was actually the best thing that ever happened to me.
At first it was a real pain having NO income because of the illegal actions of Ms Barr, but the result was that I no longer had to suffer their endless lies, deceipt, abuse of rights, and the general bullshit that ACC put people through. My stress levels went down and I started to have a life again. Life as it was BEFORE ACC.
And not only was Ms Barr abusive, ignorant of my rights, rude, ugly and smelly, but she is a consummate liar and is supported by her manager with rehearsed lies to cover up for her unbelievably disgusting treatment of clients. Her manager - Jeannette Meldrum - of Northwood branch would not replace Ms Barr as my case manager even after both I and my advocate had laid complaints about her actions. Ms Meldrum could see no wrong doing in the atrocious actions of Ms Barr. Those complaints - like most that I laid against ACC - were ignored by ACC and no action taken to correct their breeches.
It is no wonder that the lowlife "case managers" do what they do to people when their managers support their disgusting behavior. And those managers managers support them - and so on. All because of the poor ethics that pervade the ACC environment and the staff who are prepared to abuse clients to get ahead within this corrupt organization.
I hope I never again have to deal with ACC in any way. It is like banging your head against a brick wall. Their complaints dept are not there to look into your complaints - rather they appear to be there to squash your complaint before it gets out into the real world ( if they bother to do anything about your complaint ) The culture of ignoring complaints starts with the minister Nick Smith and goes right down to the lowliest case manager.
To that end I am now a non-productive member of this country and always will be - simply because I UTTERLY REFUSE to put any money into the coffers of such a corrupt and fraudulent organization. To work for myself or anyone else would mean I have to pay levies to ACC and I WILL NOT - EVER !!! A curse on the government for forcing people to put their hard earned money into something so dishonest and corrupt and fraudulent.
I do not see why I should have to pay to be treated so badly. I have paid employee and employer levies for 35 years into this corrupt organization - and got nothing but harassment and my rights breached and told that my injury was not real but in my head. I can now say that ACC were TOTALLY WRONG and can prove it.
ACC are scum and the people working for them ( and against the people of NZ ) all deserve something very nasty to happen to them.
F**K you ACC !!!

They used the " posted to your ... " when it obviously was not.
But they successfully used it in a dispute to fuck me over too.So I tried to use it back against them.
And guess what ??
They totally ignored that and insisted that they did not have something that they did - and their files showed the document as logged into their system.Do As We Say - Not As We Do

Couldn't agree more.
It's not what ACC appear to be hiding... But what is in the background they are desperately trying to hide.
Short paying me by $200 a week for 21 years and then claiming the interest they owe is only from 2006 when ACC claim to have received a letter.
