Writing to Tax credits

Hi hope someone can help :D

Need to speak to TCO, re some extra info they wanted. Now I have tried to get hold of them by phone, :eek: and I now understand that the computer system is down, so I want to write to them.............

I am assuming Recorded Delivery is best? Or should I go by Special? Do not mind paying the extra £3 or whatever it is if it means some sort of extra assurance??

And I assume so long as I keep proof and a copy of the letter, that is sufficient that I have notified them of this information?

Many thanks

  • I'd sent it recorded delivery, i thought special delivery was for valuable things ie passports ect or if you needed it to be there by 1pm.

    That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure that recorded was as "safe" and guaranteed as Special if that makes sense! :D
  • Recorded delivery is not guranteed. Special delivery is.
