Tax credit fraud- compliance interview

[Waffledog20]

Still not heard anything, the woman I spoke to with the interview was lovely.

She just said it’s more than likely il just have to pay the amount back.

Fingers crossed that’s all it is. 

[Stress head]

Did they look back over the previous years or just the time they asked for?

[Waffledog20]

I had a letter come today saying that I owe £8000 but for the dates 6/5/2019 to 6/5/2019 which makes no sense? 

[Stress head]

That must be the dates they are just ensuring about then? 

[honeybee13]

It sounds as if that could be a typo, WD.

 

HB

[Stress head]

Are you saying this because they haven't contacted her about her previous years?

[honeybee13]

No, I'm saying that the dates don't make sense so maybe they've been mistyped.

 

I've never been in this situation so I can't tell you what HMRC are thinking, sadly.

[Stress head]

Ahhh I just read that again lol, they have put the same date twice

 

[Waffledog20]

This is the letter 

 

“Provisional tax credits statement for 06/04/2019 to 06/04/2019

it says for that period child tax - £24.29

then it says 

thank you for telling us about your recent change of circumstances. This change means that tax credits were not due after 06/04/2019 and we have to review the amount of tax credits paid to you for the period 06/04/2019 to 06/04/2019.

please complete and sign and return the tax credits declaration form we sent you by 32/07/2020.
 

 

Amount to be paid 
£24.29
payments already made to you  £8001.48
Amount of overpayment from earlier years £888.66

Amount due from you 
£8865.85 

Upto April 2019

from this award period £8865.85
of this £888.66 already been collected 
£3330.54 already been collected back from later awards

£8865.85 still to be confirmed as overpaid.


it doesn’t make sense to me.

What are the dates about and why are they both the same?

I’m guessing I will receive more letters about the other dates? 

[Stress head]

Looks like it was just a type error on the dates.

Do you think this is the period they only want payment from then?

[Waffledog20]

I doubt it, they will Probably send more letters out from the other dates

I would just be honest if I were you.

There’s no point lying.

Do you only claim tax credits? 

[Stress head]

Yes just working tax credits

I've  already told them he was here

I've always worked but the tax credits just topped my wage up

 

Did you claim housing benefit as well?

scan the letter to PDF

read upload carefully 

we need to see all of it please

 

[Stress head]

 Are you not entitled to the child tax element at all?

[Waffledog20]

No

[Stress head]

Omg my anxiety is horrendous at the moment, 

 

How many years do you owe is it 3?

[Waffledog20]

From 2016

What are you worried about? X

[dx100uk]

can you not follow what i posted please

one multipage PDF only 

don't use file hosting sites they are full of virus.

 

and please stop hitting QUOTE

just type

it makes a thread twice as large as what it need to do 

just type

 

 

 

[Waffledog20]

I have tried doing what you asked, I’m unable to scan anything, and the files are too big! No need to be rude really is there? 

[Stress head]

I agree with you. I'm new to any forum! I don't have a clue what I am doing

Honestly waffledog20 I'm so glad I have come on here and spoken with you

[dx100uk]

well you two are simply the blind leading the blind and each stressing each other out unnecessarily ..

you can use photos in a PDF use the sites listed pdf merge and pdf shrink 

if you cant do i'll do it for you later.

 

they are not interested in other years else they'd have asked already

10'000 get exactly the same letters everyday

all you'll be asked to do is pay a reasonable small sum from benefits going forward thats all.

 

there are numeous threads here already of people that stressed for nothing with proof of outcome

 

one even said they'd spent more time unnecessarily stressing about everything that they knew from day one it was wrong but stressed about doing nothing rather than doing something then...

 

why not just get on with life and not stress ...stress is no excuse i said.. they laughed and said yea that's me..i spend all day on facebook looking for things to stress out about even if i don't have any of my own issues to do it over......

 

 

 

[Stress head]

I feel so much better now you have just posted this!!!! 

 

I've spend nearly three weeks on literally toast every other day!

[Waffledog20]

Had a letter Today for 2020-2021 x

[Stress head]

Hi what does it say waffledog

[Waffledog20]

Just what I owe for those dates too. I’m guessing I’m going to get a few from different dates lol
