Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
It'll suck dry the last of my savings I was living off. I'm currently unemployed. I was avoiding going on payments because I had savings and was working on my depression. I was somewhat proud of not needing centrelink while I sorted my shit. I could've been on Newstart for the last six months. I didn't want to deal them at all because they're a pack of bureaucratic shitbags. I went to the local C.LINK office yesterday, line out the door. I had things to do today so couldn't make it. I'll try again on Monday being there at 8am, same bullshit as calling them - a 2hr wait to be passed to a different contact medium.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Fuckin bullshit mate. Looking for $1500 from a six year old fuckup on their part.
