Hi To be honest I wouldn't suggest you lie to them. What Dates has the letter stated ?. Regards Ruby .

Hi Can I just point out that Child Tax Credit and Working Tax credit came into existence from April 2003. Family Credits ran from April 1986 to March 1999 Working Families Tax Credit ran from April 1999 to March 2003 Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit started April 2003 So HMRC will investigate from April 2003 . They many just be looking at 2010/2011 . Regards Ruby.

HI That's good to hear Regards Ruby.

You wouldn't have as it's new this year. What it says if you read the information on HMRC you will receive a annual review TC603R which will also be you final notice if you have no changes or they tell you other wise ,or you will receive a TC603R and TC603D which means you have to renew. What my point is "MOST" on benefits have auto renew as of April 2011. Regards Ruby.

Hi Auto Renew haven't always been the case for people on benefits. "From April 2011, customers in receipt of IS, income- based JSA, income-related ESA or PC for all of the 2010/11 tax year will also be included in the auto renewals process. However, customers are asked to check their annual review notice and report changes if they will impact on their award" So as you can see this is new as of this year . Regards Ruby.

Hi sorry but it just doesn't sound right please read this link and you will see Auto Renew claims http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/tax-credit-renew.pdf. Regards Ruby.

Hi I too feel for her , we haven't claimed Benefits and were not entitled to Tax Credits I'm glad really can do with out the stress. I don't understand as to why she has had to renew her claim , unless she has made changes . Regards Ruby.

Hi I would just like to add I know for a fact everyone who has received Benefits from April to April have their awards Auto Renewed. Hope you get your award sorted . Regards Ruby.

Hi Ozzy I'm surprised you had to do a renewal being on Benefits ?, being on Benefits you should have received Annual Review form TC603R which is Auto-Renewed . Regards ruby.

Hi When your partner moves in you will need to cancel your single claim and make a new joint claim. Regards Ruby.

Hi I think you will find it's just in relation to her single claim. Is there a giro slip attached so she can pay the monies owed to them . Regards Ruby.

Hi they are legal , you find all agencey works get paid via them Regards Ruby.

Hi I think you need to call them asap and explain that your partner moved in Oct 2010. There will be a overpayment , but you need to stop that single claim asap the longer you leave it the bigger over payment , Hope you get it all sorted with out any problems . Regards Ruby.

Hi can I just ask have they still been paying you ?? Regards Ruby.

Hi From what you have posted you are a undisclosed partner ??,Which they have discovered . If you read some of the threads on here I think you will find you are liable for the full amount ,of course you can appeal but from what i have seen on here it's very difficult to win when they have evidence of you living there. For the record I'am not judging you. Regards Ruby.

Hi Djia, Sorry to say Tax Credits will not allow you to offset any of this amount because in there eyes it was not a error by you partner, they have you registered as living there for the given tax year. Regards Ruby .

Hi ajt Sorry I don't understand as to why you need to inform the Police ?. Ruby.

Hi luboba,How long hasn't she been registered? cause To get tax credits to help with childcare costs , your childcare provider must be properly registered or approved. You won't be able to claim tax credits if they aren't. The other thing is she will be in BIG trouble with ofsted , She has been putting your children at risk doing what she has been doing sorry but i would have to report her . As for tax credits i would call them an explain what's happened re the child minder an see where you stand as you said you was unaware of her not being registered . Regards Rubylee.

Hi Joanne I know it must be hard for you at the moment but try and stay positive, can't your ex take the kids for the w/end ? so you can have some time to sort everything for next weeks app with CAB. Regards Ruby.

Joanne give a Solicitor a call most give free advise but you need one who is trained in this field so you have some idea where you stand with HMRC until you can get to CAB .I would give the lady at HMRC a call an explain you are waiting on your ex to sort out evidence if he has anything at all i know you said he has only a drivers licence , but be for you call her ask a Solicitor if you should do that to give you some breathing space be for you see CAB. You will need to be clear on how long you have claimed Tax Credits for and the dates he was living at the property . Regards Ruby.

I wish i could give you legal advise Joanne but i am not trained in that area i would recommend you seek legal advise . I wouldn't say anything to them until you have had legal advise cause they could use it against you . As far as the house goes i wouldn't have thought so you have young children , give CAB a call and arrange appointment with them. How many years have you been parted ? Regards Ruby.

Joanne they can't stop him visiting the kids so i wouldn't stop him coming to see them your allowed to have visitors . I'm guessing Tax Credits are saying he is living at the property now ? not just the X amount of years . Have you had legal advise on this yet ? Regards Ruby.

Hi I'm new here, i would just like to say you do not have to be registered on the electoral role roll by law it just means you cannot exercise your democratic right to vote in any election ,Also, you may not be able to open a bank account or get credit.It is against the law for households not to complete and return the annual electoral registration form but not for a person to be on it i would check with your local council to confirm this but i do believe i am correct with this so don't worry to much Joanne i think you have enough on your plate at the moment and plus the fact the electoral roll thing is his problem not yours , I hope you resolve your situation asap . kind regards Ruby
