The HMRC, Student Loans Company & JSA - Potential for benefit fraud
eraser replied to eraser's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Hello, got a question. I`ve not been able to get through to the CAB about this issue, although I`ve arranged to speak with the Jobcenter about the issue. They don`t know what it`s about, only that it`s a private matter to be discussed... When you declare work, do the JC ring up the agency to confirm the work? Or do they just stick this in the books? Cheers. -

No worries, just have to see what the CAB say I guess. -

Sorry, I don`t get what you`re saying here The student loans company asking me about employment isn`t such a concern, the main concern is the Jobcenter -

I`ve been told to ring the CAB first thing tomorrow morning, although I tried today for an hour. Apparently I just have to play dumb here. Although truthfully - the 2nd allowance over Christmas didn`t go in on time, so I thought the JC might`ve cottoned onto the work, therefore I wouldn`t need to tell them. I also was intending to sign off albeit, I forgot. I forgot when I signed on over the 14th as well, although they won`t believe me with that. So hoping tomorrow they`ll accept it as a dumb thing to do, put me into overpayments and take it out my allowances till the £350 is payed off. Or my allowances since then. Worst comes to the worst, I get a caution and get my allowance stopped. Anyone else had this experience? Student Loans require £1250 p/m minimum, so the temp job there measures up to that, even though it was only 24 hours work. But that`s where they would`ve gotten it from... -

Hi Mikey, Thanks a lot for the reply, really appreciate it It looks like I`ll be declaring it tomorrow. Still got to speak with the Citizens Advice people before the, tried them for an hour today and constantly busy. Someone just told me I might have to pay back the whole JSA from when I started (Nov 2008) to now. Is this correct? If so I`m stumped. If it`s just JSA for the period I worked, then fine I can do that. -
Hi there, I received a letter from the Student Loans on Friday stating they`ve been notified by the HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) that according to their records, I`m now in employment. First of all, I got a call from the Student Loans mid-last year suggesting I start paying it off (loan). I rang them, told them I was unemployed and had no idea when I would have a job next. They said fine, they`d stop the money being taken out of my account. Great. This new letter concerns me though, and I know I`m in the wrong although I`m asking to see if anyone here either has experience of this or knows what is likely to happen/give advice. I did two small spots of temporary work just before Christmas. One was for 3 days - I was removed from the position as I wasnt getting correct grasp of the job quick enough. Next spot I got was for a picking job, £20 an hour for 24 hours. Two 12 hour shifts. I did them, got paid and paid £80 tax from the earnings, plus the little bit of NI. Anyway, I`m concerned as I know I should`ve signed off, but I didnt. I should`ve signed off then back on again. Am I liable for anything here? It couldnt come at a worse time - due to potentially start a new job this time next month if I passed a recent interview. I just have a feeling a fine is on the way and potentially prosecution. My fault for not signing off... I spoke to the SLC this morning, and they said I just have to send the letter back to the HMR&C with a small covering letter stating I`m still unemployed, recieving JSA as it was a one off temp job. That with my benefit award certificate. I didnt tell them the jobcenter doesnt know about it. I`ve been advised to just come clean to the jobcenter about these two spots, or just the one even (December). Thing is, I`m trying to find out how much I`ll have to pay back to the jobcenter, how it`ll go and trying to make sure I wont go to court/be prosecuted. Been told it`s better to come clean to avoid potential courts when I start a new job. Any advice? Cheers
