I am writing in the hope that you can help me,

 

For the past 6 years I have been harrassed and hounded by Income Support untill I am now almost at breaking point.

 

They alledge that I owe money for:

 

Over payment when I went to Australia 20something years ago.. They can produce no evidence of any overpayment but still insist that I must pay. In acual fact payments were stopped 2 weeks before I left NZ.

 

They say that I was living with someone while receiving sickness benefit. This matter has been before the court. The other person was found by the court not to be living with me yet somehow they insist that I was living with them!

 

They paid me after I went to prison 3 years ago despite being aware where I was. Their continued harrasment drove me to a violent act which led to my imprisonment. The bank took everything that went into my account anyway, then when there was nothing left they took my house!.

 

Now they tell me I owe child support from 20 years ago! I am contesting this in court and have obtained legal aid. (I don’t have children, I don’t even like women. I  was never informed of any order at the time and was never given the chance to appear in court when the order was made.

 

Further to this Inland Revenue are doing the same thing based on the same court case 20 years ago.

 

Theres is now about $70 being deducted from my already barely adequate invalid pension This  leaves me less than I am paying for board. I am so stressed out that I have just fallen down some stairs and injured my neck. On Friday I fell in front of a car. I am in pain at the moment but can not afford to visit my doctor or even pay for my ongoingmedication. I need urgent dental work and have chronic toothache but the call centre said I owe too much to get an advance for dental work.

 

I see nothing left but to either end my life now or  do something violent to the people causing all this. At least I wont be harrased if I go back to prison. I am on this invalid pension partly due to brain damage caused by chemotherapy and a motorcycle accident and am supposed to be avoiding stress. The benificiarys union have said they will look into it, the city mission checked for me when I went to gett a food parcel but no one (including the call center) can make any sense of this. Please help me
