    At the end of the day this investigation has clearly come about through my honesty in seeking advice from the TC helpline.

    Is it so wrong to move on with my life, enter into a new relationship, settle down again, be happy and plan for the future, give my kids a stepmother that actually wants to be their mother albeit that we live in separate households and are both financially independant at present. No wonder this country is in the state it is in. Oh, for goodness sake stop trying to tug at the heartstrings - no-one is trying to prevent you from forming a new family so get a grip and concentrate on the facts.
    ......

    I over declared my income to tax credits for 4 consecutive years This is important...
    ......

    I accept i made mistakes but this was through not knowing the ins and outs of the system. and so is this.

    You need to get your figures straight, gain an understanding of your legal obligations and the thresholds for claims etc and then work within the system.

    Much of the blame lies at your door and the 'woe is me' approach to HMRC etc is not really going to help things move any faster is it?
