Can you give us some more information Suzanne?

Which Tax is it?

How much do they say you owe and from when?

Are you working or on benefits?

The more details you can give us, the better the help you will receive.

Updates - posted by OP on New code of practice on tax credits overpayment recovery thread.

"does anyone know where to get help with an overpayment of taxcredit for the amount of about 40000 pounds so the tax office says. I cannot afford to pay any of this back and most of this was for childcare although the carer did not say this. I am in a big mess"

(posted today)

the tax credits were paying my child minder through myself an amount of £250 pound per week the child minder say i only pay her £50 so i have been told to pay back the £40000 overpayment by the tax office as i had to go and see them . HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE. I do not use the childminder anymore

have advised poster to keep to this thread

Do you not have reciepts or bank statements showing what you paid your childminder? She is obliged to keep records of payments which you have to sign, for her tax purposes.

I pay my childminder by standing order, but although it is evidenced by my bank what I have paid her and when, I also have to sign a book of hers to declare how much has been paid, seperate for each child. This helps in school holidays when her costs rise, as instead of increasing the S/O I give her the remainder in cash but I know I have signed the book to state how much extra I have paid. However, I do not get a copy of the book and I have no reciepts for the extra so now I will be paying it via S/O as well, just to be on the safe side.

Also, is there a written contract with the childminder stating the hours of childcare and the fees?
