Even though it's obvious from centrelinks own records that the accusation under which the debt stands is wrong and is due to generic financial year end dates on the group certificates, they still persist that i need to provide evidence from employers, of the dates of the commencement and ending of the jobs, not once actually considering pulling up the records of when i rang in to report that im ending employment and commencing study. The accusations are ludacris, they are saying that a Job i worked in for four weeks in January of 2012, lasted well into my study period which commenced in Feb, they're accusing me of earning one months worth of pay in six months of full time work and not reporting it, even though the wage would then average out at mere cents per hour if that was the case.
Lots of anxiety, lots of frustration, have been chasing up records from 2011 trying to contact organisations that don't actually exist anymore, lots of time and effort wasted. If there is a class action against this please do let me know, i can confidently say that they have every fact and detail on record that shows there has been a mistake and i do not owe money, but they wont wave the debt until there is "evidence from employer" knowing full well the employer isn't obliged to keep records over 5 years old.
Frustrated and angry, i wish it was in my power to inflict repercussions for such negligent treatment.
