I had a letter from HMRC saying I was overpaid tax credits in 2017. 

It mentions various ways to pay. 

Is there a standard period they allow you to pay over as a direct debit? 

Is it negotiable?

    You can ring to arrange to make regular payments but not sure if there will be a timescale to pay it back but i suspect not.
