Tax credit overpayment DWP

Hello,

Me and my partner have had letters from HMRC and now the DWP about overpaid tax credits from 2015.

This is the first we have heard about it and am a bit puzzled. The letter states we were overpaid in 2015, but we never had any payments in 2015 only 2014?

I know this is a daft question but do the dates make sense?

    They might be using 2015 to refer to the 14/15 tax year.
