Tax credits question

A friend of mine thinks she may have been overpaid with her Child Tax Credits. If so does she have to pay the excess back in full immediately or would her future payments just be reduced, till the overpayment was cleared?
She is very worried about this. Any advice much appreciated.

Usually they reduce future payments. But is she sure there's an overpayment, bearing in mind there's a 25k disregard for income increases?0

I would suggest your friend phones up the Tax Credit helpline and discusses the situation with them. As zagfles said they usually take the overpayment back over a period of time.0
