Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Of course finding out only weeks before our second child came into the world that we owe 6200 between us was stressful at the least. With a home loan/rates coming and a list of things we needed, after my partner had taken months off work. Surely was a big hit, I've set to pay this off in 12 months ending this coming financial year. From well before I had kids. We knew that there was no way we owed this much, maybe a little but not that amount. This whole process to get back money is a joke, they are only getting paid by the working class, the people that really ripped them off surely wouldn't be off Centrelink and surely wouldn't be able to pay back very fast.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
embarrassing
