Tax credit compliance telephone interview

[honeybee13]

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

If I remember rightly, compliance isn't usually as scary as it sounds.

 

The best thing to do is to have your information assembled and to tell the truth. I don't think anyone who has posted here has been prosecuted, the tax credit people normally arrange for you to repay what's been overpaid by deductions from future benefits.

 

Have a read around our HMRC forum for cases similar to yours where people have come back and told us the outcome.

 

Best, HB

Hi Annie.

 

Could you show us a pdf image of their leaflet please? All I can say is that nobody here has come back and said they're been fined for as long as I can remember. Everybody has had deductions made from future payments.

 

HB

[honeybee13]

Thank you.

 

So have you deliberately given wrong information?

 

HB

[honeybee13]

From what you say, it doesn't sound negligent or deliberately misleading.

 

Everybody who comes here feels like you do so please believe us when we say we haven't seen anyone fined or prosecuted. Read a few more threads that were resolved.
