Child Tax Credits Overpayment Dispute

Wondered if anybody else has been in similar position...
I've just received a notice from HMRC advising me of an overpayment penalty, however this is in relation to my account that closed back in 2016. At that time, I was told that I had been overpaid and entered into an agreed repayment plan, which I have kept up with for 5 years. So was surprised to receive this letter out of the blue! I called up to query this and was told that "it had been missed" at the time but I was still bound to pay it. I am obviously going to dispute this, but would like to know if anyone else has experienced similar?

You are out of time to dispute this now. You should start with a SAR and they will send you all the information they hold about you.

Thanks poppy12345 - I only received the letter last week ( 28th October 2021) - how can I be out of time? My dispute is about the time it has taken for them to bring this up. Not sure an SAR will help with that...0
