Tax Credits - REJOICE

[Charlie_Thompson]

After a number of years being faced with a bill varying from £6000 - £8000 from the HMRC(?) and numerous appeals got a letter today saying - Ooops, our fault you don't have to pay it back. Over the tates. Weight off the shoulders an aw that. Anyone in a similar position who's been overpayed as a mistake who genuinely believed they were entitled to the money - stick at it, it's worth it.

GET IN

Yes if you have given all the correct info and they have screwed up it is classed as "an official error".
Happened to me,found out that when i moved someone had not sussed that since i was not paying a mortgage but now rent,even though they had been told and were paying a part of the rent,i was not entitled to income support.
They at first but me down as a fraud case,till we proved they were wrong,odd i always thought that they would have to prove my guilt.
Then they tried to say you still owe it.
Got a solictor involved and got an apology,50 quid compo and they paid legal costs.
Total they said i was overpaid was 5600,so as has been said.
Fight them if you are right.
