This debt is not mine. I have ran the numbers and asked for it to be reassessed 4 times. Twice I have had the debt changed, lowered down to $850 then up another $200. Finally, the reassessor told me there was a limit as to how far back they can go with this information and that they would be unable to take it any further, needing to escalade my case and that it would take up to a month. This I now know to be lies.

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

Centrelink is useless, the Government is untrustworthy in this and its a disgrace on how they are treating those with undue debt. Guilty till proven innocent while relying on those who can't prove their innocence to fit a bill to pay for debts they didn't drum up.
