Rebate for Working Families Tax Credits

Hi, Does anyone know anything about this? :confused: I found a site yesterday http://www.taxcredits.org.uk/?gclid=CKOt7PeB9pICFQrllAodFnlNBQ and apparantly if you had a child between 1986 and 2003 you can claim some money. However there is an agent and it is the above site, who charge £94. Can anyone clarify for me please.
Thanks Cris:confused:

    I've not heard of this site before but as Working Families Tax Credit no longer exists how can you claim a back dated payment???

    Even on the new Tax Credit scheme the most they can backdate is 3 months except in exceptional circumstances.

    I would be most sceptical about this. Having read the site I am sure this is something you can do for yourself. Ring the Tax Office and find out.

    Zillions of companies offer to do this for you at a fee, you can enquire yourself saving the crazy fees from these stupid companies. It's like the ones who say 'we'll claim back your bank charges for you' the rule to go by is if you can do it, you can do it yourself, you don't need to pay these companies anything. The company pointed to by the OP does 'IVAs' for those over £15k in debt (YOU CAN DO THIS FREE) Reclaiming PPI (YOU CAN DO THIS FREE)

    So no, not a very good site, definately not MS in any way, paying money for nothing makes no sense at all to me.

    Domain Owners (Don't sound very proffesional, 'Wes & Dave' probably just know how to create a website and use letters they find online) A .org.uk website doesn't mean it's official.
