Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I was shocked when I received this and felt sick, this has caused me a lot of anxiety and frustration at having to put a lot of effort to prove that I did the right thing.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
I think this is ridiculous and targetting people who are not the issue.
I did the right thing and worked hard to get off centrelink benefits as the whole experience was traumatic, I am not off benefits but still being harrassed.
All for below the poverty line money!
