I did as I was told.
I never received their 11 letters they say they sent me, so I went down and requested a copy.

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

Disgusted!
Why wait 4-6yrs to send this debt? Why didn't they ring me at the time?
They told me not to report my earnings, I never went over it & now apparently I'm at fault for them paying me wrongly??
