Overpaid Tax Credits - not my fault how do appeal?

Ambiss

Looking at the posts here It is clear that I will probably get the £100
Will be querying the rest under the "official error" clause which I may or may not get

If I dont get it nevermind, £100 is better then nought

When you have a decision, please do post back here to round off the thread.

Getting excited at the prospect of £100 of what is in essence 'stolen' money since you were not entitled to it in the first place...that is pretty sad going...

Ambiss, don't listen to the rest of these people. They obviously don't know what it's like to be a VICTIM of this horrible agency. Fight it with all you got, even if it's for £100. They would do the same to you. They government doesn't care about you and would screw you over without thinking, so just treat the agency the same way they would treat you. Start by requesting a record of the telephone calls and all correspondance. They have to provide it to you. It took me a full year, but I managed to have £5k written off then was able to claim an additional payment as compensation. It's written in their own policy that you are entitled to that money if they make a mistake. If enough people fight the unjust decisions then maybe the goverment will have to approve the system. This website is good for appealing.... taxcc.org

No I've got some morals, that's all. When my car broke down thanks to Asda dodgy petrol, I first sent an estimate of the costs of the repairs before I sent the actual bill (as I was told it would take a month to get the part). They must have been under pressure with the number of people claiming and didn't realise that the first invoice was only an estimate. They ended up sending me two cheques. The incident caused me quite some stress (as a single mum working full-time relying on my car),but even though I was struggling financially (father not contributing a penny), it didn't occur to me for a minute to cash both cheques. So yes, people who feel good at the prospect of financially gaining from other's errors don't impress me.

lol thanks for telling me your facinating story about your broken down car and deadbeat partner that you were clever enough to be knocked up by
But if you had redirected that intelligence elsewhere you would have realised that if ASDA said ok you can keep both cheques, it would not be stealing

I am following their rules based on offical error, and if they turn around and tell me ok you can keep it, then its not stealing

I see why your mad though

They are not telling you you can keep it. They have written to you and told you you need to repay. If you are following their rules, why are you even considering appealing?

If it was the other way around, they refused to pay you £1,300 you were entitled to because you made one small mistake on your form, would you accept their rules based on your error... from your attitude, I very much doubt it.
