> Fighting the debt notices proved extraordinary difficult, as the onus of proof required citizens to provide documents proving the debt was incorrect. As the program looked back at years of payment history, many simply couldn't find records of past income – or lack of it.

It was a trivial amount that had ballooned to 5 figures with fees, penalty and interest. Fortunately the league had a long standing banking relationship and we were sort of able to assert that a payment was made. But in the end, only loud complaints to legislators settled the matter.
