I have to repy tax credits, what can i do

sinstar

Even if the rapid data capture system used to scan your form 'forgot' to scan the info about your wife and kids you have a duty to read all letters, notices etc to ensure they are correct and report any incorrect info within a certain timescale. If you didn't do this and an overpayment built up until you 'accidentally' phoned them up to point out it, any overpayment that arose between the end of that timescale and you actually reporting the mistake is your responsibility.

Your details and your partner's details are entered on the same page of the application form. Perhaps there was a freak accident with the computer that scanned your form and it only scanned half the page! Or maybe it was manually captured by someone who read it with one eye closed. Who knows!

Fuggles, it is not often I feel inclined to say this so explicitly but you are full of poo.

Take a leaf out of noelphobic's book - you had an interest free loan that you now have to repay.

This thread is so funny :rotfl:

Though I am baffled as to how the op was overpaid when claiming as single when he had a wife and kids. Surely the op would have been massivly underpaid?

Was the wife claiming sepately for herself and the kids by any chance.

do you get more tax credits as a single man

or

as a married man

so they underpaid me ? or overpayed me ?

Has this thread been minced up?It is literally gobbledegook:D

Right first off.....if they had you down as a single man with no children you could not possibly have been overpaid. That is not a possibility. For starters, you would not have received "Child Tax Credit" if they had you down as single with no children.

Secondly....first you have to pay back money:

I dont have the money they are asking for, they want 120 pounds a month of a total of around 1500 pounds

Then you ask about your friend:

OKAY, new question

My friend also payed his back, BUT he wants his money BACK, that he repayed to them. He repayed over 10 thousand pounds back in total.

How does he get some of the money he payed back to them back ?

Note the words "my friend", "his money" and "he repaid"

then you say, and again I quote:

but i definitely cannot get my 10 thousand pounds back i paid to them back ?

Note the word "I"

someone noticed this and stated:

thought it was your friends 10 grand....

In response, you stated:

i meant me

See where I'm going with this....if you can't get your story straight on an internet forum, you would never manage it during cross examination in a court room. The answer is yes, you can sue them - you can sue anyone you choose to under civil law. The opinion is: If you go down this route you will a)find it very difficult to secure representation and b)most probably be laughed out of the court room. That is not being horrid, it is being honest. I am not trying to be unsupportive, merely demonstrating to you that unless you can put forward a constructive argument, you will not get anywhere with this.

And forward:

I never knew that I was claiming as a single man

And i accidently rang them after out of curioisity i was reading it and i realised they had me down as a single man

Okay....so first you didn't know you were claiming as a single man, but you did read the award notice which showed you were down as a single man. So how exactly, didn't you know? It was there in black and white on your award notice. You have one month from the date on your award notice to inform them of any wrong information. Did you inform them within the one month prescribed timescale? If not, why not? If you did, then again please explain how you could have possibly have been overpaid, being that couples with children logically receive a higher award than a single person?

You are making very little sense, I'm afraid. To top it off, you are contradicting yourself time and again. No-one here can help you so far because what you have written makes no sense whatsoever.

To answer your question, if you HAVE been overpaid then you can dispute it. Follow this link to find out more: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/cop26.pdf

And no, you can't set about getting the 10 thousand back. You accepted at the time it was an overpayment and paid it back without question, you or your friend.

according yo your argument regarding being payed as a single man,

that means anyone can say on a form 'i have 6 children' one wife, and claim working tax credits and child tax credits , and the reason why, because the inland revenue of this department does not have access to your tax code and therefore is open to fraud


surely the inland revenue must know if a person is married or not ?




because i was paid as a single person, even though i was married, the inland revenue are more or less saying it was a fraudulent claim , fraudulent becuase of a mistake , not because i am a fraudster

i am now receiving married man's allowance

so they though it was a fraudulent claim, instead of being underpaid , which it was

the system is obsurd , they pay me x amount for married man's allowance , and im repaying the amount back to them through direct debit

as far as i am concerned , soon as ive payed them what i owe, i will certainly not be claiming working tax credits ever again
