Utter Bullshit and Disgraceful

Debt amount:

$5000

Has your case been referred to a collection agency?:

Yes

Payment Type:

Youth Allowance

Appealing Debt?:

I don't know how to

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

In 2013 my dad had passed away with a 2 and a half year battle with a brain tumor
3 Years later my mum suggested i go on youth allowance as i had an unstable job and was looking for full time work so i had joined Youth Allowance but in the hope i could join an agency to help me find fulltime work.

joining an agency was a waste of time and no benefit to me whatsoever

once i had found a full time job on my own in October i thought i was done with centerlink completely.

As i was slowly overcoming my stress and anxiety from my dad passing away i received 2 letters to say i required to pay back debt.
it is hard enough trying to look after my mum and sister and then centerlink do not care about your situation and are just money hungry

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

i feel like the Government needs to help the people struggling with financial difficulties as well as ones who go through difficult times

its hard enough trying to support my family instead centerlink dont care they just love seeing people suffer
