Double tax credit claim.

[map2508]

Hi hoping someone can help me out and thanks for the great site loads of great information.

 

I stopped claiming CTC for my 1st daughter about 3 years ago,i was claiming as a single parent whilst living with parents due to a separation/divorce. My daughter was spending all her time with me so i decided to claim this i filled in forms stating that i do not claim child benefit for her and was awarded an amount. I stopped claiming this when my daughter was spending more time with her mother and that was that.

 

Since claiming for her i have had various letters from tax office asking me to confirm details like daughters birth cert,who pays this and that etc and i have always filled these in honestly and i have also sent in a cafcass letter i had which stated she lived with me as at that time my ex wasnt even making much contact with her.

 

I think in hindsight we were both claiming CTC for the same period and when i speak to the TO im just told letters are just for updating there details.I have always kept a diary of everything so im not to worried about it but as i dont get any thing back from these letters and there very infrequent it seems to hang over me....does anyone have any experience of this and what was the outcome as i cant find any information online.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and sorry for the long first post.
