Overpayment advice

Markb06

Hi and good evening,

I was an !!! when I was younger and lied to tax credits. I admitted this to tax credits and they amended my payments with a reduction to recover costs. I owe roughly £7000.

I am about to move in with my partner and our combined income is £26025. I am looking to set up a direct debit and offer £100 a month as money will be going elsewhere and we feel we could comfortably afford this.

Do you think they would accept this?

Many thanks

And yes I know I did wrong and no I dont need to be belittled about it. I am ashamed enough.

Again.

Many thanks

You need to post your statement of affairs before you offer an amount. Whether or not it is accepted will be based on your incomings and outgoings - DO NOT LIE ON THIS, as they have been known to check - so until you put some relevant information up, noone can make an informed guess.

What Dom said.

It depends on your income/outgoings and disposable income. If you have £500 disposable income each month then HMRC probably won't think it is reasonable. If you have less than a £100 then it is a more reasonable offer providing the income/expenditure is itself reasonable.

We have worked out we would have about £350 a month left which would be put aside for anything needed if so be. School uniforms, car repairs, etc
