    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…

    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:

    Adam.

    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
