tax credits overpayment

hi, I was just wondering if someone could give me a bit of advice regarding an overpayment I'm going to dispute but I also want to request a subject access request as well so would it be best to get it before I dispute it or should I do the dispute while waiting for the sar to come. I'm just thinking if there is something wrong on it would I then be able to dispute it once I have already sent the dispute to them...
sorry for rambling on and tia

What makes you suspect HMRC have overpaid?
Have you done the sums using their Tax Credit calculator - https://www.gov.uk/tax-credits-calculator
I've no idea how long a subject access request would take to compile and send to you, but if you want to dispute, you have to do so within 3 months of either the date on the first letter, statement, or notice you received telling you that you’ve been overpaid, or the ‘decision date’ on your Annual Review notice.0 -

Its 30 days. There is a template on the Information Commissioner's website. SAR first thenUnlike some here, I am not omniscient. If I am wrong correct me. I won't take offence.

I think what lisa was asking - why do you think HMRC are wrong in saying they have overpaid you. Does the letter you have received explain the overpayment and how it has been calculated? If so are you disputing the income figures they have used to do the calculation and/or their record of what they paid you?marie62029 wrote: »..@lisboa84 I have had a letter about it ...Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated.

In that case you should definitely ask for an explanation so that you can see whether HMRC are correct in saying that an overpayment ahs occurred. Have you gone through all your past Tax Credits letters to see if there is anything about it?marie62029 wrote: »sorry no it isn't explained it just says they will send it to UC to take money off that to repay themInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated.
