Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Stress, shame, anger. Financial stress as deducting from my payments over $100 a fortnight.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Very poor. No explanation. I earnt $9000 for the financial year and was fined over $3000. How is this possible? After I said I could pay $50 a fortnight they sent a letter saying I had enough time to budget and now they are taking $115 a fortnight. I had to go back to work as I couldn't live with that much coming out of my payment.
