Misrepresentation

A claim for misrepresentation is issued when, in order to obtain sums to which they were not entitled, a person:  

• Failed to provide information
• Provided false or misleading information
• Submitted a false document
• Made a false or misleading declaration.

Misrepresentation makes the person liable to substantial recovery measures such as:

• Recovery charges of $100 if the amount claimed is $100 or more
• Monthly interest charges until the debt is fully repaid
• Higher withholdings from the financial assistance paid by the MTESS.
