Benefit overpayments
Comments

will this certainly puts things into prospective! I thought my Income Support overpayment of just over £200.00 bad enough!
I must be very naive but how did you manage to get £40,000 of debt without wondering how you were going to repay it?
How can you save for a mortgage as your first priority has to be to repay the public money you have been paid in error and if you cannot manage to make ends meet at the moment how will you ever manager to pay and mortgage payments, especially if there is no income as you will be in university?0 -

To the Op, the CAB will likely not help you appeal the overpayment or help with the court proceeding as they do not get involved in cases of benefit fraud. However they may be able to refer you to a solicitor. You could make them a offer of payment.0
