| Re: Child Tax Credit Overpayments HMC&R have been trying to reclaim an alleged overpayment of over £1000 for some time.
My response is the same....the claims are becoming less frequent....
1) Show me the document where I claimed the money (It is an old over payment and was awarded to me without a claim from myself, in short I took their word that the ammount was accurate)
2) Show me the calculations which gave you the figure of £1000. (They have not) |

| Re: Child Tax Credit Overpayments hi, new to this but need some help
My wife and i used to recieve family tax credit but we seperated in april 2003 and our payments were payed into a joint acc, but in may of that yr my wife phoned them and changed it to be payed into her new acc and i bleieved she must have told them of situation.
When i phoned them as payments were not going in joint acc i told them of situation and the person i talked to even told me the acc number which she should not have done.
Right got a letter in that yr saying we owed money to them told them what had happened , was told i should have rung and told said i did when money was not being paid into joint acc
Did not hear from them for 4 yrs then today got a letter saying i owe them £650 but sppoke to them saying not had any money from them since we split, they say you did not tell us of changes bloody nightmare.
Where do i stand as it was a joint claim but they changed bak acc without oermission and i told them i left and thought wife had done too
Can anyone give me clue what to do next as waiting for thm to send a form to appeal cheers simmo40 |

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: Child Tax Credit Overpayments Last year I promptly informed tax credits of two changes of circumstance.I reported both on seperate days. It took a month each time to alter my payments. This year I have been forced to pay back nearly £1000, as they have demanded 8 weeks full payments, even though the amount actually over paid was afew pounds. I have had to inform them of another change this year, again it took 4 weeks to alter my payments, for afew pounds, therefore I expect to be demanded to pay another 4 weeks full payments next year, when the annual calculation is done.
They tell me this the law and there is nothing they can do to change payment amounts more promptly or to only claw back the amount actually owed.
Child Tax Credit is my main source of income, so full suspension of payments until they have done their paperwork is not an option and this continual clawing back of an excessive amount of money, every time I inform them of the slightest change of circumstances is causing me and no doubt thousands more, severe hardship.
I urge people to sign this petition to the Prime Minister to stop this practice.

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: Child Tax Credit Overpayments I was overpaid £7000 in 2002-2003 so the TCO said, I have been though numerous appeals, been though the Adjudicator, and even took it as far as the local MP and Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, even though when it got to the Adjudicator stage the TCO decided that they were wrong about £2000!!!!! I've still got to pay the £5000 and the TCO have admitted in Black/white that they were wrong and human error meant they typed in the wrong amount, so because of my human error at not noticing the mistake (did anyone understand the award notices when they first came out? don't think the TCO workers understood them either) I've got to pay back £5000, does anyone know anyone thats gone to prison because of not paying back TC??? will watch this space, cause I'll fight it though court if thats what it takes!! So anyone who general believes they shouldn't pay back there overpayment, keep fighting, don't let them away with it GOOD LUCK

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: Child Tax Credit Overpayments I have overpayments from 2007/08 and now they stopped this years because I didn't return the earnings details in time. But I read the BBC report in the first post on this forum and saw this Quote: | If the income was greater, but by £25,000 or less, the HMRC will not claim back any tax credits in that tax year. | Is this an official rule? Are they claiming back money when they shouldn't be? Or is this just for Working Tax Credits?
Sorry for so many questions  |

| Re: benefit fraud accusation is not correct hi not sure who to talk to about the sticky mess i am in to do with fraud can anyone help.
it is a long winded story and i will explain all to whoever can give me advice on it.
Yes. You have 30 days from the date of the notice to make your appeal in writing. After that the notice is normally final and cannot be changed. Can the time limit be extended?
Yes, but only if you can satisfy us that there were special reasons for the delay, and that you will raise the matter as soon as possible.
If we are not satisfied with your explanation then a legally qualified panel member at the Appeals Service will consider your application. They will look at your reasons for appealing late and decide whether to accept your appeal. Their decision is final.
We will not accept any appeal more than 13 months after the date on your notice under any circumstances. Website is www.hmrc/gov/uk
Go into the site and click tax credits. I found his on the leaflets link. You could also look at a COP 26 which is a booklet explainin what hapens when tax credits are overpaid.
Good luck!![/quote] |
