If centre link debts are handed over too a collection agency am i then black listed
Optional Information: State/Territory: Perth WA Already Tried: I asked the agency and they said that centre link do not black list people but i have heard people tell me that they do
Hello and thanks for your question.
No, Centrelink cannot black list you.
Your entitlements to Centrelink payments are set down by the laws decreed by parliament and Centerlink has no discretion to not pay you what you are entitled to.
That said, if you owe Centrelink money they can direct your payments, all or some, to you debt which can have a similar effect until the outstanding debt is paid off.
I trust the above assists your understanding.
If you have a follow up question, please ask and I will attempt to assist you further, otherwise please rate my answer so that I can be paid for my time and effort.
Please note that I am only paid out of the previously deposited funds if you score me with 3 or more smileys/stars.
Thank you.
