Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
I am currently working full time as a nurse in aged care I am also studying my bachelor's I automatically started paying my so called debt because I was hassled by a debt collector and I couldn't get any information of when I was supposed to have owed the debt and now I get a letter from centrelink wanting my wage information from all the way back to 2012 this is giving me anxiety and stress on top of the stresses I already have
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
The government should be ashamed of themselves bullying people for past so called events just so they can get a pay rise this is illegal and unethical but they think they are a law to themselves
