Tax credit overpayments

Hi,
Was hoping someone has been in a similar situation.
I got told on my renewal letter this year i was overpaid by over £1000, I immediately new why. I changed job last July and due to more hours would make approx £3500 more income. I called them the week I started my new job and told them this they said as my tax credits for this tax year had already been set up it would not affect them but would be counted on renewal.
I called them they confirm They have record of my call and that I also advised online, but that they should have been amended at this time. As this is not my fault I argued they suggested a mandatory reconsideration which I am not awaiting the result.
Has anyone been in this situation?
So stressed out since they are now taking £60 off they £230 they give me every 4 weeks
