We get no benefits so I've got a feeling this is going to hit us really hard, but like I said, only got ourselves to blame for not informing them of my husbands overtime.

Ours for 2011/12 is £6000. I'm not going to worry about it anymore, what will be will be.

Thanks for your reply. I hope you don't mind me asking, how much were you overpaid by?

Has anyone got any advice for me please?

Hi, new here and a bit scared to be honest. I received a letter from HMRC a few days ago regarding CTC. It asked me to contact them with actual income figures for 2011/12 ....I underestimated by £6000.I always put down an estimate on the forms. My husbands basic salary is £23000 but he does do overtime, this is where the £6000 has come from. We never know one month to the next if he is going to get overtime, sometimes he gets a good run other times he gets nothing. I called them yesterday and gave them the correct figures, they said they will amend the award, she was very pleasant, and put me at ease right away. BUT, there are underestimations for prior years, this is my biggest worry. In fact I am extremely worried about this. So I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. Will they definitely delve further? Will we go to prison? What are the chances? I know we will have to repay but how much will we have to pay? I feel sick to be honest. I can't think of anything else at the minute, I know it's our own fault, only have ourselves to blame for this!
