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

Their data matching system failed in not recognizing that my one Employer has two names, therefore they are saying that I worked for two different Employers at the time. Yet they both have the same ABN number?! Forcing me to pay back $150 per fortnight on the debt and they keep fobbing me off when I complain about it.

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

It has put me into a severe depression and struggling financially, but they don't care.
