Begin Rant ,,,
So how do you deal with incompetent government departments when they fail to send notification of a payment error in the first instance,,,
Then send repeated letters to an incorrect adress (which we changed as soon as we moved home) :dry:
So then they put you in the hands of a Debt Colectors Office to chase you 2 years later :S

So now I owe $4,500 and the threat of having my name on a Debt Recovery Register for the next 7 years :pinch: :angry:

After hours of phone calls, we have narrowed down the error that was made by a previous employer issuing an incorrect Group Certificate !!! Then they notified the Tax Office a year later of the error (but not me :angry: ) who in turn notify Centrelink who chase you through the Debt Collector cause they failed to do their ADMIN JOB correctly as well

So afer all this I am still down $4500 , that I was payed I suppose, but it still stings when you have to return it years later with no notice ,,,,,,,,,

Damn I HATE INCOMPETENCE

Ok, Rant over ,,, I feel better now :laugh: kind of

Sack your accountant and find another (good) one!

A good one should’ve noticed $4500.

Options…

1…Tell them you can pay $10 per week for a few years….

2…Or tell the old employer to pay it…

3…Or spark up the Kato and roost centerlink….

I like Number 3…

Eagle,

There’s nothing new in what your saying here.

It is par for the course for many Government departments. :pinch:

The reasons for their mistakes are many, too many to list here. :whistle:

It upsets me that there are a few bad apples that are paid good dollars to do what they do and don’t give a shit about the hardships they cause innocent people when they stuff up. :angry: :angry:

Although being a Government department they don’t make mistakes 👿

My rant over :whistle:

Had a the same problem Eagle

When I live in Sydney the govermaent put $4000 in our account , they stuff up the child allowance.

When I rang them they said no its all good then two week later they send me a rude letter saying I owe them $4000 they did get wrong.

Then I got my rebate back on the Pink Batts project and then a month later they pay me againe I rang them and told them and sent the money back.

Just makes you wonder how much they give away every year and not pick up on it

Cheers

Strucky
