Family payments, despite the percentage of care I've had the kids I have always paid an agreed amount of child support.
OK, thats a lot different to child support. I could see what has happened in your post happening if child support was involved with shared care arrangements, etc.
In regard to Family Payments, Centrelink will have all information going back the entire period (you would have received this too over the years in letters and group certificates also) as to how much you were paid for each year.
IF you've received an overpayment for more than you received (which I must admit I never saw in the 28.5 years i worked there) then it will be an open and shut case and they would fix this immediately upon you pointing this out to them.
Without you going too much into it on here which is understandable I would suspect there's more to it.
Yeah, I have every document, which includes estimated earnings for the forthcoming year (usually May), then my tax lodgement (July), then my assessment/adjustments based on "actual" earnings.
I think it is my best interest to just take an afternoon off and take all my documents in there, it gets too hard to explain over the phone and I get where you're coming from.
I've read everything that relates to the assessments in question.
