Hi yes I’m at work now I can send wen I get home it’s basically if I disagree it with the £300 penalty it  won’t stop maybe criminal investigations against me 

[honeybee13]

If you could scan it up later, that will help us to understand what they're talking about.

Yup, none of that sounds right. Let's see the letter

[unclebulgaria67]

They can apply an administrative penalty, as an alternative to the possibility of looking to take forward as a prosecution.

 

If you failed to report changes of circumstances or provided wrong information, so you gained as a result, then I would suggest that you pay the admin penalty.  Better to have it dealt with that way, than to possibly face being taken to court.   

 

Are you willing to take the risk of not paying the penalty, hoping they don't prosecute ?

[Homegirlxx]

It’s a tax credit determination notice of £300 Iv paid it but can’t seem to upload to show use letter sorry

Oh my God, HMRC make me laugh, on what planet are they on to think that somebody who is financially vulnerable enough to need Tax Credits one month, suddenly has £10k  laying around doing nothing, 4 weeks later..

 

Their heavy handed collection methods have probably driven people to suicide, and now they are trying it on in the middle of the worst Public health crisis of the last 100 years, when people are at their lowest.  Please understand that no mistake you made gives them the right to demand random amounts of money out of you for no reason.

 

If you want clear instructions on how to deal with this I am happy to advise on what to do via this thread. As they have been into me in the past for a whole lot more than £10k.

Hi I don’t know if it’s 10k yet may be more  I got a penalty of £300 last week Iv paid that was just wondering wats next? Court? 

[London1971]

Stop there is no court at any point in your future in this case.

 

You need to go to the Tax Credits Web Site and request an SAR. This will deliver you every minute detail that they have relating to you. It's not impossible that they have made a mistake somewhere along the line. 

 

I don't understand why you didn't call and ask why you had been issued a fine, why not do this today? No need to be confrontational or nasty, just find out the reason.

[Homegirlxx]

Iv been issued with a fine as didn’t report change in circumstances wen partner moved it stupid I know

You are not listening to me, none of that matters. What you did or didn't do, they have no right to make these ridiculous demands. Please listen do my advice as I instructed.

[Homegirlxx]

I don’t understand the letter will I still get took to court even though Iv paid the penalty? Thanks for your help 

[dx100uk]

what court? there you go again.

 

how can you have been overpaid £10k if your partner only moved back in in june 2020?

quite honestly id be appealing that penalty as it says at the end of it's letter

i'd also pop up on the HMRC website and get an SAR done.

 

 

 

[Homegirlxx]

Yes sorry they were paying childcare too and  it says at end of the letter they could also take criminal proceedings against me??even though I got a penalty? 

[dx100uk]

they have said they may take criminal proceedings, we've never seen that here for amount doublr what you owe...

they have issued you a penalty ....you've paid it, you now as the letter also says...await the notice to pay, regarding the overpayment ... 

[Homegirlxx]

Does anyone know wen I will receive the notice to pay 

 

So I may still get took to court?

[dx100uk]

well you know what you owe so i hope you are already saving up ready to start £PCM payments and i expect it will be a good few £100'sPCM.

as for court, we can't keep saying we've never seen any here for much much greater sums end in prosecution.

only used for criminal gangs and serial scammers. not a member of joe public with a family to keep.

 

 

[Homegirlxx]

I don’t know wat i owe though as I haven’t had notice to pay I was only on here looking for a bit of advice how can I afford hundreds of pound a month 

[dx100uk]

dx

[Homegirlxx]

I don’t know wat i owe though as I haven’t had notice to pay I was only on here looking for a bit of advice how can I afford hundreds of pound a month? I didn’t do SAR as I’m in the wrong and I’m willing to pay it back just can’t afford hundreds a month as you say thanks  

 

Anyone thanks  

[honeybee13]

Hi.

 

I doubt it's as bad as you think.

 

It's a good idea to send an SAR, it's free and you may find that they've made a miscalculation on what you owe or the details you've told them. Always worth checking.
