Sorry sweetie, can you just expand further please.
Did you ring them first? Or did they ring you first? Did you get a tax credits notice in the post? Did you voluntarily tell them your new income?0 -
they rang us Flossie no new income and no notice can they do this? x0
-
nope £11,000 per anum and didnt disclose any info0

Are you saying you got nearly £600 a month in tax credits?
I don't think that's right. Perhaps you have been overpaid though the call sounds suspicious.Tomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -
it works out to be 497 (including child benifit)0

ah ok thanks guys0

Sorry, I popped off for a bit, but yes I agree with the others. It seems a bit odd that they randomly phoned you, and your tax credits before did sound unusually high.
But that is a BIG drop.
As the posters here have been saying: ring them tomorrow. 0 -

Op quotes £597. £1397 - 800 which is why I said it was very high.Tomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -

I'm just not convinced it was a genuine callTomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -
Did they ask any security questions like asking for you and your partner's national insurance numbers and dates of birth?These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.0
