Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
The debt was tiny and ridiculously old. The data they had used to infer the debt was obviously wrong. Luckily I could find the payslips in my email archive. No real stress, just a waste of time.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
The issuing of this debt notice was morally abhorrent. Any human would have seen it was invalid, so sending out was just an attempt to lazily extort a small sum.
