Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Anxiety levels have increased, cannot focus at work or around those I love. I am meant to be moving overseas to start my dream job which I worked hard for and now I have been told I have an inaccurate debt. I never received letters I only heard from the debt collector.
Apparently I cannot go overseas for my new job with a debt. I cannot prove my payslips because I cannot get in contact with my previous employer.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Hypocritical! If I am guilty of a $5300 debt until proven innocent, then Centrelink should do the same! Not a glitch? Prove it!
