i started claiming in sep 2013 i got a job in july 2014 8 hr contract then got put up to 12hr contract provided my play slips up to oct 2014 partner started working in nov 2014 no because we got moved into a house with nothing so the start of our wages went on buying the essential things we need like bed, mattress, food, fridge (cos it broke ) ect. we knew we would be in rent arrears but thought we would pay it back when we got on our feet. we thought it did when my partner benefits got cut because it was our first time ever being on benefits and i know no one who is on benefits plus he is from Europe so he didnt really understand the benefit system to.

it is £2700 i have started paying it back in installments every month. i phoned and they said it was a typo . i went to Citizen Advice Bureau and a lady contacted the gentleman's assistant who sent me the letter and what she could make out from him that i should not worry so much that it is not like a massive thing, she sent me to this LA and the gentleman was saying just go to interview say your sorry say you made a mistake that you will pay it back and then hopefully they wont take it to court. if they do then it means my partner gets done for fraud and he will lose his job. Then we would have next to nothing coming in and would have to relay on the government again and i wouldn't want to cos i really don't understand it all and trust them i made a honest mistake and feel like a criminal. this month has just been a really bad month and i just honestly don't know what to do and how much more i can take.

That he will get done for fraud when it was a honest mistake. the thing is we both pay taxes and work every hour god sends and one honest mistake may mean criminal conviction or him being sent to jail.

hey. in august i received a letter stating i was + £2000 over payed in housing benefits. i phoned my housing officer up she stated that it was cos i didnt provided my payslips even though i did for the first 3 month and then got told i didn't have to any more. so instead of putting my pay slip in i said i would pay it all back in monthly installments which they agreed to. my partner got a job 4 month after i did and had his jsa got cut off so in turn we stupidly thought that the housing benefit had been stopped as well because he was the main claimer. we did not pay our rent for a couple of month because we was trying to get on our feet and making sure we had gas elec and food in thinking later we would catch up with our rent when we was sorted now we he has received a letter saying he is to go to a interview under cation. i am seriously stressing out over this i am an over thinker and am thinking of all the nightmares that could happen. please could some one help?

i have just received a letter say i owe the council near 3 Grand for over payed housing benefit. me and my partner moved to Scotland was homeless and had no job. last year i got in to work placement through job center and then got a job. i informed the council of everything and they said i didn't need to pay rent because i was working my bf benefits got stopped. my partner got agency work that lasted a couple of weeks and then they phoned up giving him some more. the council phoned up asking questions and i answered and she was like i will report it on system everything ill be fine you wont have to pay. i thought that was strange but though she knows best cos sh works for council. now i have this bill i don't know what to do and ive been reading forms about how they will do me with fraud i am so scared i am only 22 first every house and i do know what to do. i have suffer from bad depression any how and this is sending me over the edge.
