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

I apparently owed $2??? But yet they have taken my whole tax check of $4235 without notice also part or the debt was Centerlink saying I only paid $240 per fortnight rent when I sent them the lease agreement and informing them I have paid $240 per week for the last 2 + years at the same address and through a rental agency !! Really distraught as I am working casual and doing full time study and most of that money was for new tyres, nurse equipment I need, shoes that support my feet as I have trouble with my feet ect I am now considering quitting my course as I cannot take care of our older people with bald tyres and no correct equipment !

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

I am extremely angry, disappointed and feel like I have worked my butt off only to be treated extremely disrespectful !
