Hi. I am in the exact same boat :(

 

I have been claiming inflated childcare costs for several years and think I owe around £30,000. Not a lot of people will understand us but, like you, we couldn't financially survive without these tax credit payments and got in way too deep. It's a long story and I too am not eating/sleeping/coping and terrified of imprisonment.

 

If by any chance you read this, would you mind contacting me so I can hear how things are going for you and perhaps offer one another some words of support and encouragement? I can also then tell you my full story.

 

I also have 3 little ones, they are 5, 4 and 1 years old and I can't bare the thought of being torn away from them, they wont understand and they will suffer because of the way we have gone about things.

 

Just wondered if you know yet just how serious the consequences are when you come clean and tell all.

 

Thanks in advance, hope everything goes ok for you and your family xxxx

Welcome to the site.

Obviously you have come here for a reason,and have to be given credit for wanting to sort things out.

Volunteering the information before its discovered surely does make a difference.

Can you be specific on exactly how many years ?

Has there been any breaks in the payments ?

When was the last payment ?

Are you still getting them ?

Its impossible to say what the consequernces will be,since these cases are dealt with on their own merits and based on the individual circumstances.

Have you ever been challenged on your eligibility for these ?

Any investigations in the past ?

On this site,we encourage members to post openly,this helps you more because there will be lots responding.

It also helps those who may come in the future with the same issues.

Are you certain that you are ready to deal with this ?

If you are then I am sure you will get some good advice on here.

Can we start by asking what you mean exactly by inflated ?

Give us some idea how the overpayments were rec.

I can understand how worried you are, but there are some smashing people on here who will be able to help you, they have been very kind to me.

 

I don't know an awful lot about TCs, but I do know that you can make an unprompted disclosure; it is what it says, that you go to them with the information, and not them coming after you.

 

For the current year it is simple, you just tell them the actual figures or information. They can open previous years, but I think they have a procedure to follow in order to do this.

 

The folk on here will be able to advise you better than I can, i'm no expert. I just wanted to try to ease your mind in telling you that you can do this.

 

I'm sure that someone will be able to help you more.

I presume she just told the truth and asked for help which they gave. No one needs to know the presonal bits of what was said as long as you are open and explain your present situation, thats what they would concentrate on.

 

kitten, if you are in similar situation start you own thread, state what happening without giving personal information and posters will help :)

 

Just click on new thread, title and off you go for advice.
