I have not stated that Foolmum WILL be charged this amount but they can & have charged it to others.

 

dont worry i know that this is possible.

thankyou for your support. i know its individual cases but it helps to know the outcome of other peoples experiences xxc good and bad xxxx

It's best not to direct anyone to the 'worst case scenario' places albeit the intentions are well meant.OP is already at Def Com one so to speak,bless her.

So,,foolmum,,Dr has given you something to help,,make sure you take them regularly and that you keep your strength up by eating and drinking properly,sounds silly but you don't want to get ill on top of everything else do you?

You have been through so much,bless your heart,but you are still standing so you are stronger than you thought !! Like you said yourself,,baby steps,,tackle one thing at a time,and always pop on here if you need some moral support (and advice of course)

The link was posted in response to Honeybee's request not to specifically direct anyone else to 'the worst case scenario'.

Oh,,WSIDN,,,I wasn't getting at you,,our posts crossed,,sorry

[folle]

Things will get easier, your story so similar to mine, i told no one at work but i found it easier that way.

Glad you are eating , chin up xxx

Foolmum hasn't provided false information, she hasn't reported a change:

The 3k penalty is applied in the following cases:

 

"Giving the wrong information

If you've given the Tax Credit Office wrong information and you've been paid too much tax credits, they can charge you a penalty of up to £3,000.

The Tax Credit Office may charge a penalty if you gave wrong information:

deliberately - 'fraudulently' giving wrong information

because you didn't take enough care - 'negligently' giving wrong information

[honeybee13]

I think you'll be a very good adviser here one day.

 

For now, dealing with your own problems, the guys here believe you, please try to take the baby steps you talked about. I think you're doing well, stick with it.

if it helps i sent everything i could to hmrc and the statements etc that were missing i told them i would forward them on when i got copies and they were happy with that .

You will get it sorted x

[scotgal68]

I'm glad you're a bit calmer, I hope they find in your favour, even if they don't, you will, as others have told you, be allowed to pay over time. I want a post from you telling me you're ok xxx

[foolmum]

must say the cab calmed me...just knowing as the man said the adviser will be able to speak the hmrc language. xxxx

dont think the worse , i did , but believe me you will be fine.

The worse that will happen is an overpayment and all you will have to do is pay the money back at a rate you can afford.:-D.

Try and stop worrying, big hug

[What should I do?]

Scotgal68, I hope you are right but if HMRC deem you have been living as a couple (through lack of evidence) & should have made a joint claim they can/will treat that as 'not reporting a change'.

 

Foolmum, hopefully you won't get a fine & £3000 is the maximum they can charge - there is no guarantee that they will but like you say, it's better to know the worst consequences & anything less is a bonus.

 

Anyway, I hope it gets sorted in your favour - don't have the will to participate anymore, was trying to help by giving info re my experience but obviously others know better!

[foolmum]

bad shakey start to the day....could be the tabs....

[northerngirl74]

Just an update from me. I received a letter today to say that HMRC have completed their checks and I am being fined £2040 for deliberately not informing them of my circumstances. I dont know where I am going to find the money from. Pay plan who manage my IVA are helping me with the overpayment and the fine as i dont want my IVA to fail. I have been lucky really but i just want to sort this out now and move on.

 

Does anyone know if the penalty they are charging will show up on a crb check? there is no mention of prosecution and i was never interviewed under caution or anything.

[foolmum]

omg that will be me

[northerngirl74]

i know its a lot of money but what i was showing you was, they are fining me that is an alternative to criminal procedings so pls dont worry xx

[foolmum]

thankyou but will they include the fine in yr over payment and payback over time xxx

[foolmum]

just had lettter from tc telling me my overpayment since august..

to be confirmed....is this normal xxx

[borisbeaver]

I've never heard of them fining you?

 

Depending how big your overpayment is, they may reduce your payments or stop them completely until the overpayment is paid back.

[foolmum]

they r investigating 2011 to 12 .... as ive said ive no proof... even though i paid everything...so up the creak without a paddle as to say... i admittted husband came back aug.....but we r not a couple r trying..im just a crying mess but what can i do cant argue with them they could make things worse and i cant cope with that......

[folle]

hi , i have never heard of anyone get fined xx
