My partner in 2013 overestimated his income so Centrelink said I have been overpaid. How do I get payslips from back in 2013 from someone I'm not with any more & the company he worked for no longer exists?????
I have been working my butt off to get off Centrelink. Haven't received any payments in years. living week to week & supporting son through Uni, paying rent etc. who is to say that in 3years time another debt won't pop up that I won't be able to prove

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

Disgusting. I never received a letter or phone call. I got an email
