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

This caused my lupus to flare up which means severe chronic pain which is preventing me from doing simple daily tasks like bathing, eating and sleeping, an anxiety attack and several hours of crying, not to mention the migraines caused by sleepless nights and sitting on the phone listening to the god awful hold music that seems to be designed to burst your eardrums.

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

Poorly, ive done nothing wrong but im having to try and prove my innocence and even when given the correct information ive then had to provide copies of my personal bank statements (MASSIVE PRIVACY VIOLATION) to prove that i am telling the truth. . . information they already have access too if they did their job in the first place!! All this was because i got ill and was unable to work while a disease attacked my body. . . thanks for making me a victim to my disease again but in a whole new way!!
