I have today received an overpayment of tax credits notification of £115 dating back to 2007!
Is this right? I’ve no way of checking the details with it being so long ago.

I would suggest you ask HMRC for their calculation; how have they arrived at this figure.
The Tax Credit legislation allows HMRC to go back as far as the introduction of tax credits to recover any overpayments.
The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0 -
If they have the evidence then yes, it's right.0

Are you absolutely sure that this is from HMRC and not some type of scam? Definitely contact HMRC and ask them to supply details as to why this demand is correct1
