Today I called to discuss an application that was lodged to the ATO by fax over 2 months ago. I was kept on the phone for 1 hour and on hold at one point for nearly 20 minutes. At the end I was no better off with Fawad advising me that he was arranging a call back in 2 days. How does it take your customer service operators 1 hour to identify that a call back is needed?
