Tax Credits haven't been paid on time

eyespy

Hi I don't know if anyone can help? My usual TC day is a Thursday and the money usually actually hits my bank about 11pm the day before but they haven't paid it this week (great timing being Christmas week, snowed in and had a Tesco order booked). I have checked the HRMC website and it only had info for people whos payments fell on a bank holiday and obviously Thursday not falling on a bank holiday, I thought i'd get a payment as normal. I'm really now up the creek as far as Christmas is concerned now.

after having no sleep and completely panicking about what I was going to do, just checked again and the money is in - Phew! Happy Christmas x :xmassign:

Maybe they are waiting until the last minute to pay out to 'capitalize' on any interest ? - labour used to pay out xmas time money a week early yet I am waiting for an 'early' payment on xmas eve - due date monday - I haven't brought any presents/food yet - so I will be the only one of the family to bring nothing but me if it doesn't show up until monday

I thought the tax credits would be in tomorrow if normal pay day was Monday....mine haven't gone in either but then I was expecting it tomorrow rather than today.

Saying that, son's DLA (due Tuesday), income support (Monday) and carers allowance (Monday) has gone in today and I was also expecting them tomorrow.

The tax credit website says payments due on Monday 27th will be paid on 24th December.

We should have got next Tuesday,s(28th) payment in bank today and my bank has just updated its accounts and it has not gone in.

I bet there will be many not happy people about this.

What could have gone wrong?

so Does this mean that we will now get it late next wednesday?

Familys need this today not after christmas.
