October 2013 to June 2014
Has your case been referred to a collection agency?:

Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Quite frankly I wish I had been successful in my suicide attempt years ago.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
This is an absolute farce and disgrace. I spoke with one lady who reduced my debt due to a notice of assessment I provided.
I also appealed through the AAT who then were told by Centrelink it hadn't been reviewed.
If it hadn't how did this lady reduce the debt.
Than a guy rings me yesterday and states, "the lady was wrong and I am returning the debt to the original amount".
Really??
Am I now getting punished for going to the AAT?
It certainly appears that way.
