Now you should know the TV ad, that is the one pretty much that has been on TV for the last few years “Lucky, your with AAMI”, well we are with AAMI and I can tell you lucky I rung them a couple of times when I was sorting out our house insurance in Brisbane.

The usual happened and the house and contents bill arrived in the mail just before the due date and in true fashion it sat in the bill tray up until a few days out from paying and then I looked at it.

I thought it was higher than the last year by quite a bit, I know most bills have gone up, electricity and water too, so I thought I’d just check it out as you know have quite a few choices that you can make when getting your home and contents insurance in regards to different insurance companies offering a lot of different prices and policies.

I looked up our last bill and to my surprise there was a $329 increase in the insurance cost in one year for exactly the same cover.

Now I started to wonder, if the house insurance goes up this much every year soon we will be paying as much as the house is worth every year just to insure the house and what’s in it, so I made the first call to AAMI at around 11.30pm that night.

This Error Message No. FE054 comes up on my Netbank Login every now and then for me when I try to log onto the Commonwealth Bank and sometimes even while I’m already logged in.

I am up pretty early working most mornings and so I log on to net banking with the CBA Bank around 4am or around 5am generally.

After I log on to banking, I can see our accounts and when I click to see the transactions for each account, Netbank and Commonwealth log me out with the Error Message No. FE054.

The funny thing is that when that particular error comes up it isn’t explained properly through Commonwealth Bank NetBank Social Media pages at all.

If they are asked about it, they generally come back with the reply “We are glad it’s back working again” as the people who have asked have been able to log on again.
