Is your superannuation with QSuper? You may have been unfairly overcharged.
Shine Lawyers has launched a class action on behalf of thousands of QSuper fund members who were wrongly charged excessive premiums for their life insurance policies.
What is the QSuper Class Action about?
Shine Lawyers allege that QSuper breached their obligations by failing to notify members of important changes to life insurance policy premiums.
The changes related to Occupational Rates and members’ entitlements to elect Standard Rates, White Collar Rates, and Professional Rates. As a result of the alleged failure to sufficiently communicate these changes, thousands of QSuper members:
-
Were charged significantly more for their life insurance than they should have been; and
-
Suffered superannuation investment losses.
If you had a QSuper superannuation account from May 2016 or received a payment after 1 July 2016 from a deceased fund member, you may be eligible to join this class action.
