Going through divorce, lost my father, lost my job, all in last month.. do my tax hoping to use that money to help me until I get new job... Waiting for my tax return to find out they have taken my whole $5800 return!! After I appealed the robo debt and went there with all my paper work to prove it was wrong not once but twice because the lost my paper work... Not one letter not one call nothing for over a year... Done my tax in 2018 they didn't touch it ... But no when I'm jobless they decided to take it after I clearly didn't no it was still there .... I have try to appeal the decision but was denied don't know how homeless sleeping in your car isn't financial hardship ... What hurts the most is I did everything I was asked to prove myself and almost 2 years later they come along and kick me when I'm down ... My blood will be on your hands Centrelink
