Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress: 

This has been so stressful.
I've been worry about this all day everyday. Second guessing myself that I declared my income wrong when I 100% declared it correctly.

I supplied them with my bank statements which show how much money was earning but they are still saying that I earned more money than I actually did.

I'm so confused by this whole process. Its clear in black and white and they are still accusing me of owing them money.

How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?: 

This has been beyond a joke.

I have been wrongly accused and threatened by the government to pay back a debt that I do not owe.

This whole process has been poorly run with little information and transparency to how they are coming to their wild conclusions.
