You know if you notify them of changes in circumstances straight away and they continue to give you the wrong money (or too much) then it is their fault and you can appeal and probably not have to pay it back.<br /><br />Anyway, really hope things work out in the end hun. xxxxNaomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764982357103340544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557036099939722495.post-53585415589813617872009-08-07T10:27:24.204+01:002009-08-07T10:27:24.204+01:00I don't know, at first I got a letter saying t...I don't know, at first I got a letter saying they would pay me x but it would mean I'd be left with an overpayment that I'd have to pay back later. Then a few weeks later I got another telling me I would be receiving less and they'd overpaid me by £90 odd quid and were reducing payments a little for that. I've since had another letter which has reduced the amounts again - but there's never any explanation as to why an trying to get sense out of the folks on the telephone is near impossible and I'm wary of calling them because when I went part-time a couple years ago and it wasw a nightmare - they said I owed them initially £600, then it was over a grand, then four grand.. until finally they listened and it got sorted - but gawd it was a stressful time. So I'm scared if I call and ask what the hell is going on I'll just get a letter in a few days saying I owe them even more and I'll be getting less.Joxy34https://www.blogger.com/profile/08395070160887950878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557036099939722495.post-77661653001001128472009-08-07T08:31:55.517+01:002009-08-07T08:31:55.517+01:00That's awful - why have they been cutting your...That's awful - why have they been cutting your tax credits? Are you sure they're supposed to be cutting it? I mean, you're getting less income than you were (ie none!), so surely if anything your child tax credit should be going up?<br />I hope everything sorts itself out soon.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01354606225242312518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557036099939722495.post-37160682788703522832009-08-06T21:37:18.642+01:002009-08-06T21:37:18.642+01:00Cheers Jax :-)
