Tax Credit Overpayment

Hi
I have received a letter for the IR today, saying that we owe them £8000 in overpayments! This is because I failed to sign and return a decleration? This refers to the year of 2007-08, and i'm usually good at paperwork and I don't remember being sent anything to sign??
I have contested the overpayment, but today received an official letter saying that why it's an overpayment, and how much I need to pay.
I'm absolutely devestated. I have two young children, one on the way, i'm disabled but my husband works full time.
I've set up a direct debit of £225p/m for the next 3 years, but in all honesty I don't know how we'll afford it.
Is there any help I can get, or advice? I feel utterly desperate.:(
