Strange Child Tax Credit Double Payment Problem - They're Paying Me Twice!

that happened to us last year we got two different award notices same award for year but different payments per week. anyway we were getting duplicate payments. we were getting the weekley payment from one of the awards and the other weekley payments from the other award. we told the ctc office/help line. they said they would of noticed the duplicate payments. then finally after it was all solved our payments went down per week. so save that money and don't spend it if youre getting duplicate payments from both the different awards. they will catch up on it. it may take a month or so, but just watch your payments per week drop. ours dropped from £95.00 per week to £80.00 per week. thats £60.00 per month. so beware. also you must tell them if you are getting duplicate payments. it took hundreds of phone calls to get them to put it all correct. but im glad i did. or we would of had no money this year.

goodluck.

Ive rec'd 2 payments as well. I think this are "balancing" end of year amounts rather than a trend. And there was me looking forward to getting more money a month from the Govt.
