    Have you recently renewed?
    Might be an extra payment then your regular one next week.

    Mine in early too. No apparent reason.

    It is, however, a Bank Holiday in Scotland. Perhaps this is the reason?

    Yes i'm England as well. They said the Scottish holiday was the reason although it's never happened before.
  • I also received my tax credit payment on Friday instead of Monday and don't know why. I had a couple of irregular payments at the beginning of July but that was because they'd received my renewal. No idea what has happened this time.
