So you mean you have been overpaid Tax Credits (Money you shouldn't have had)

and they now want you to repay this (debt you wouldn't otherwise have had)

Correct?

Not really enough details for anyone to advice you accordingly as different senarios for overpayment have different outcomes.

it depends.

can't answer properly without scenarios. In some cases there would be a liability and in others there would not.

I would have thought that your biggest problem was to prove the company/organisation/government department had made a mistake and also agreed that they were responsible .......
