Tax Credit Overpayment

[Frazzled48]

Thanks for the site addresses I will take a look to see if I can understand the HMRCs twists and turns-their wording is so complicated that I don't think even they know what it means.A new twist in my story ----- I wrote and told them in Dec 2004 that I had received a lump sum from a pension so they increased my income details straight away ,wiped out my entitlement from April 2004-2005 and added it to my overpayment,I then found out that it should have been assessed as Capital and not Income,so they had put it in the wrong column---their response to my appeal?-----I should have known that they had placed it in the wrong category and notified them within 1 month and because I didn't TOUGH!!!!!!

It seems that if you are going to claim Tax credits you need to fully understand all the categories that HMRC has for assessing your income - If we knew all that then we could get a job at the HMRC!!!!!!

Anyone struggling with tax credit overpayment problems needs the free, voluntary user campaign group Tax Credit Casualties, found at www,taxCC.org Mods, please don't delete - the human rights abuses perpetrated by HMRC are killing people off, and this is a legitimate user-led, peer support group who are not in competition with anyone!

I have received all the paper work relating to tax credits for years 2003 to 2005. At the end of first year I sent all info and stated my wage which was apparently over the threshold to claim.......ok thats fair enough......so why did they again make payments the following year??????????????????

You will have to google search Tax Credit Casualties, as some Mods will allow the link here, others won't (can't see why - we're a respectable user group just like this one, covering an area which doesn't compete, and we're not commercial in any way - it's entirely voluntary. They might as well edit out all references to the Dogs Trust). There you will find all the help and peer support you will ever need. Sad, 'cause we would happily plug this Consumer Forum given half the chance. Unfair Bank Charges - unfair clawback of tax credits - where's the difference? Where's the conflict of interests? I can't see it! Still one powerful financial entity abusing the more vulnerable, except one is HMRC and the other is the banking system. Google search us and keep viewing the pages till you find us, as find us you will.
