can they do this?

Just a point to note - you said your income was £177.56 in 2006/07, this seems very low if you started working in January 2007. The income declared should be the gross pay on the p60 from the employer.

Hi.
See how easy it is to make a inputting error: this is why you always need to check the figures.
Good luck - I hope you get it sorted.

ok phoned them up guy on phone didn;t seem to know what he was talking about started off by saying that its because i didn;t send the review form back on time-i know i did then changed his mind and hummedd and ahhhed and said that the recovery has been suspended for now and to ignore the letter (like its that easy) and when i asked about giving my final amount on my p45 said no need to call they will send a review pack out in may and to tell them then!! will phone as soon as i get my p45 and tell them and why send out a review pack if i am not working (hopefully i will be by then-hopefully by the end of next month at the latest), right off to job search, thank you all

yes i can see how easy it is to make an imputting error i am not disputing that its easy to do, its the deleting peoples details that is more concerning as surely before you delete something the computer should ask are you sure you really want to delete this? looking back over my tax credit award forms they have the correct figures on them.

An annual renewal is just the name of it. Even if your claim has stopped the TCO need to know your actual income for the tax year. The forms are sent out after 5th April each year.
The recovery wont be suspended, they just dont usually take action to recover until the ned of the relevant tax year.
As I said, you may be easier disputing in writing or trying to speak to an adviser or manager with a bit of technical knowledge - if you call just make sure that you query if they do in fact have the employment details from start date to finish date of your job.
Your payments would have stopped in August/September if you didnt send in the review pack last year.
