I was on ftb with my one child in 2007 I left to go back home to nz in 2008 and I was still getting paid for about 4 weeks until I had lost my card so I didn’t see any of the ftb money. We moved back to Brisbane in 2017 and I get hit with a 5k debt which I never saw any of that money. This is my 2nd appeal because I don’t think it’s fair I have to pay all that money back when I never got to see or use any of it. I’ve been on a payment plan for the last 2years. They declined my first appeal and then I asked them to review so im still waiting to hear from them!!!
