I don't know how to

Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:

Anxiety levels through the roof, i have never in my life had such debt, a credit card max was 4 grand, a car debt of 5 grand.. so im not a luxury kinda person.. the government is asking me for 16 grand.. like..
i am in tears.

im stressing over money because its all spent on rent, a little on bills, due to this debt i no longer am able to afford fuel to get to school, 10 minutes away.
(or even ride the bus since mykey is stupid expensive!)

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

terrible.
if some warning or something would have been nice.
perhaps challange people over the past couple of years, not upto 6 years and the fact they wanna remove the 6 year limitation is bull.

it has been built incorrectly,
it has been rolled out incorrectly.
it has been executed incorrectly.

the process is just messy and garbage.
