Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
5 years after I was paid I received a letter saying I owed them $3600. I was told they coded my payments wrong for a few months while I was unemployed, even though I had given them all the correct relevant paperwork and information. I was told it’s bad luck and that I had to pay back the money because I had received it even though it was their fault they paid the wrong amount. This has caused an enormous amount of stress and anxiety as I did everything right on my part but because they screwed up, I’m paying for it 5 years later.
