Tax credit overpayment

Posts: 52 Forumite
I am being chased for tax credit overpayment which they say has arisen over 2007-2010 years. I haven't received any for 2years, however previous to this my wife and I separated then got back together twice. Each time I wrote to tell them of the situation, didn't phone as I'm hard of hearing. However I stupidly didn't keep copies of letters. Have I any comeback, I've old them that I had advised them at the time but they say I've no proof so am liable to pay 
any advice please??

when you change from joint to single or single to joint they do not treat this as a change like they would do income
For both you need to close the existing claim and start a new claim for joint/single whichever now applies. If the single claim was your wifes alone, I think she would be the one that would have to have closed it then either of you could have requested the new joint claim0
