Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I now have to pay over $300 a month to Centrelink over a debt caused by their administration. It has made me upset, anxious and distraught at times.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
It has been awful. I was told essentially that even though it was their human error I am still the one who has to pay it back!!!
