worst thing i ever done in my life was claiming wtc
i have a overpayment of £900 because of mistakes by them which i cant prove . they even sent me an award saying i was earning £240 per year , i phoned them and asked what idiot would work for that she said she would sort it
well now i have went bankrupt and they say debt will go to wife who recieves no money whatso ever so how can she pay them back
claim at your peril i would rather do without

Yes sorry, but it seems that COBBLE has a problem with HMRC over tax credits as well on another thread.

He apparently had advice from the DWP that he should carry on getting them whilst he was looking for work, instead of closing the claim down and claiming Pension Credit instead. He would have got the same money, but from a different department.

Seems HMRC are prosecuting him over it even though the government haven't lost anything and they are talking about going to court under the Fraud Act, with a possibility of prison - all for £3800!!

the only thing in common is i have a problem with overpayment along with thousands of others that have claimed it are they all frauds i dont think so
