Unless the OP is attempting to making a point by paying it back at a minuscule rate. In which case they've just shot themselves in the foot.
How big was the overpayment and how much are you paying back a month?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Put in to buy the council house received a letter saying it’s been refused and contacted the fraud officer as stated on the letter.
Been informed due to a housing benefit over payment which wasn’t our fault by the way our right to buy is refused.We can reapply once the over payment as been repaid.
Anyone advise if this is the correct information,not buying the house of the benefits department where buying from the council
You cannot buy your home if a court makes a possession order which says that you must leave your home. Neither can you buy your home if you are an undischarged bankrupt, have a bankruptcy petition pending against you, or have made an arrangement with creditors (people you owe money to) and you still owe them money.
