Family tax credits?

If you're in the UK, then you're not alone. It was stated in May 2006 that nearly 2 million families in the UK had been overpaid. I wonder if you've actually spoken in length to HM Revenue and Customs about this, as communication is very necessary. If you go to the BBC site below, you can read more about the subject of overpayment and what you can do. They also suggest that you contact the HMRC and ask for Form TC846: "Request to reconsider recovery of tax credits". Your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau can also offer you advice. Start by being pro-active in trying to get this problem sorted - don't let it keep rolling on, thereby becoming worse; you'll find some of the worry being lifted when you start tackling the problem. Good luck!

They done this to me too and i always contact them immediately if anything changes. I have just paid off an 'overpayment' with them and they have sent me a letter the other day saying that once again, i have been overpaid! They have been a nightmare to get hold of over the last week, i have been trying several times a day since last week and finally got through yesterday. He couldnt explain to me why they thought i had earned nearly £1000 more than i had actually earned last year. They make me so angry. Well, i gave him my P60 details so hopefully they can correct their mistake.

I dont want to have to go through paying them back for something that i dont think i should have to as i have always been honest with them.

I feel your pain..........

I am exactly the same hun, they have done this to me too ever since I applied for it 6-7 yrs ago. I dont know the answer but I will be checking back on yours!!

Sorry I couldn't help more - but at least you know your not alone...
