Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I got this debt from the above date because I failed one of my units but my results weren't released until the 11/07/2016 and I was still enrolled when I checked on the 18/07/16. I got no more payment than I would have had I been on Newstart and it took them til April 2016 to pay me my Newstart I applied for in November 2015 and I started uni in the February 2016 and still had to attend job providers and all the stuff even though I was a F/T student.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
They haven't handled it well I basically got told I was a liar they took the arranged payment straight away didn't wait the 28 days I could understand it if I got paid more but I didn't the payment is still the same as I get on Newstart.
