childrens tax credit refund

Expect a PM very soon Dons (wink wink)

[Kerrie78]

Hi Dons, thanks for that.
I actually got through to them this morning fairly quickly, and spoke to somebody who actually had a clue!

I am eligible, and as we haven't already received the payments, the first payment will be for £520 for the year 2001/2, and we will be getting £529, for 2002/3, plus interest. But he couldn't tell me how much that would be because my claim has been sent to the processing department in Leeds.

He said to expect a cheque no later than a week from now.

Woohooooooo

	Are you letting your bank keep your money Are you giving away thousands of pounds?? Many people aren't claiming all of the money they are entitled to when they make their bank charges claims. You have been forced to pay unfair bank charges. Have you forgotten that your bank has charged you inteest on those charges? If you are overdrawn and the bank owes you charges - then your overdraft is made up of charges - money which you bank owes you. Yet you are paying interest to the bank - on your own money!!! Follow this link to see the discussions on this. You might even double th size of your claim.

Hi Kerrie

So glad you have had some luck!!! from my calculations the interest on the 520.00 at 8% should approximate at around 41.60 (not bad hey!), and the interest on the 529.00 should be around 42.32...

Meanwhile I am still waiting....!!

Great to hear your luck is changing girl you deserve it!!

Hi Kerrie

Fantastic news. Welll done. I've read through your posts and seen that it's taken them some time, but brilliant result. Enjoy


I sent off my letter this morning - so here's hoping !!

[Kerrie78]

Thank you Dons.

Best of luck to you also, hope you hear soon.

[Dons2008]

I received a letter back from mine to say I had already been paid the money in child tax credit Boohoo

[Kerrie78]

Further to my post on 16th April I am STILL waiting on my cheque.

I phoned again yesterday and evetually somebody answered and she kept checking different details etc, then when she came back to the phone she said Leeds have got a processing backlog of between 4-6 weeks due to having to deal with claims from this year first.

She said I shouldn't have been given a timescale in the first place. Needless to say I wasn't happy so grudgingly she gave me the address of Leeds for where to send my complaint.

Who else is there that you can complain about the service (or lack of) from these people, surely theres got to be somebody who they answer to cos I would like to get in touch with them aswell.

Thanks

Next stop is your local MP - Do it! Do it! Do it!

[Kerrie78]

shes about as much use as you know what

[Kerrie78]

we asked for her help regarding my other post and she's done nothing at all. I have been advised to write to her opposition but I havent done so yet.

Just an update on mine, I phoned our MP case worker again and asked her to look into this and see why it's taking so long, as it has been 4 months now and each time I call them I get no further forward.
She has assured me she will call them and see what is going on but I havent had any feedback yet.

Has anyone else actually received a cheque yet?

[Dons2008]

NOPE!

[Kerrie78]

I phoned again yesterday to ask what was happening with my claim. The operator said that there was unfortunately still no update on her screen. But she could see that I had called on May 2nd and had been advised to call back in 4-6 weeks, so she said she would telephone the department and ask if they could hurry it through (pity they didnt hurry it through when they got it on Jan 25th lol). So still no cheque for me either.

[crispqueen]

I`ve not heared anything either - goin on 6 weeks- looks like all the tax offices are taking forever...

[Kerrie78]

Update:

I telephoned 2 weeks ago demanding this be sorted out that day as I was tired of being fobbed off, only to be told by a young lad that he was passing my case back down to my local IR Office for an urgent review. I Waited a week and telephoned again to be told that they had passed it down as agreed but there was no update as yet.
Then the day after I had called my local office wrote me a letter stating that the Childrens Tax Relief claims were currently being looked into and if I needed any further advice then I could contact them on a new number.

This morning they sent me another letter and it states (after almost 6 months and at least 10 phone calls) that my husband received the money as part of his tax code for both years in question. The lady says that If I dispute this then its up to us to prove otherwise within 30 days or she will close the case.

Now this is where I am stuffed, because I am sure I sent the p45's off to them initially as requested and now I don't have them, and they said they haven't go them either.

I am 80% sure that we havent received this benefit during 02/03 as previously 2 seperate operators in Yprkshire have told me that we didn't receive it, and one of them even gave me the breakdown of what I would be getting.
Now I feel this is a ploy to put me off but I need to know if there is a way I can obtain duplicate p45's for the tax years 2001/2 and 2002/3

Thanks

	Record your calls Follow this link to read the review of the Truecall telephone recorder and call manager. This is the Rolls Royce of call recorders. It's a bit pricey but if you buy it with our special offer you will get it at cost: about 20% discount. How much do we make on the deal? - Nothing at all. You can also buy cheaper devices from Maplins. Truecall is the best - but the important thing is to record your calls.
