Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
we received 3 seperate debt notices totaling $5461.61
this was sent to Dunn and Bradstreet and then the calls and texts came
we have started paying $50 a week which is very hard for a one income family, this stress and harrasment from Dunn & Bradstreet is having an effect on us.
We can never get through to Centrelink to discuss and when we go into see them they say they cant help
We are stuck with where to go next ?
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Appalled, they have not taken into account for 6 months of the year we were at a lower income and then changed our income with centrelink when our circumstances changed.
they have said we earn $X for the year when we didn't for the first six months and the payments of assistance were needed
