Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Since I was informed about this they have taken my tax returns as well as fortnightly payments; it has caused my family to fall into financial hardship and I can no longer afford to pay the bills.
In order to get the report from Centerlink that gives me my own details over the time in question I spent three and a half hours on the phone trying to get this released to me, only to be told I had to go through the freedom of information act.
I will continue to fight this, the amount is impossible, there is no chance we could owe them anywhere near this much!!
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Our Government and all it's associated agencies is corrupt, without question.
