said they,d take it off future awards but there wont be a future
award as i,m now over the earnings threshold
thought they would have asked for a cheque for the overpayment
thanks all for the great support
Hi all
never told them about partners income
got six letters from them today 3 each
letter 1 provisional tax credit decision
letter 2 amended tax credit decision
letter 3 final tax credit decision
only for last year owe them a couple of hundred pounds but havent asked for the payment
got everything crossed that thats the last of it but still cant settle
thanks all
the award was based on my income but they have info
of both our incomes.
Thanks for the kind words DD,sorry about your sister will try to look on the bright side but am finding
it desperately difficult never ever been so stressed and frightened in my life
will just have to wait for next letter
Hi all
Been a while but my life has just taken a turn for the worse
got a letter from HMRC to say they are checking my claim as it
does not tally up with info they hold about me.The letter says if i agree with the info they hold about me which is correct
to do nothing and they will amend last years award and give me a penalty if they feel its just.But at this moment in time i feel absolutely suicidle twice as worse as i was before cannot cope with life at the moment
feel the are definately going to check previous years and if they do i will go to prison lose my job lose my house all because i was not brave enough to confront the situation.
dreading the next letter they send me as i think its going to be one that says they are going to prosecute.cant believe ive totally ruined the rest of my life in this way have never been dishonest in my life
any advice would be much appreciated
No letter just been playing on my mind,got my renewal in but havnt sent it in yet dont have any other benefits
Not coping very well cant bear the thought of going to jail losing job losing home etc
wish i could just pay the overpayment back. thanks for your reply
cant believe how out of control this has got its totally ruling my life
Hi all
This is the most difficult thing ive ever written,started claiming child tax credits and working tax credits about 10 yrs ago.
about a year after claiming partner started a part time job working 5 hours per week
Stupidly took advice from workmates that i didnt need to inform HMRC shortly after this partner got more hrs
now working 15hrs week stupidly didnt tell HMRC.
Why i listened to these people i dont know
As the years rolled on i felt i was on runaway train i wanted to tell HMRC but was afraid of the outcome.
I now know i should have informed them straight away but i didnt now my life feels like its come to an end
having real dark thoughts as im convinced we are going to jail losing my job losing our house.
Cant believe ive been so stupid as im writing this im shaking like a leaf cant eat cant sleep
i really do feel my life has come crumbling down.All i want to do is pay the money back somehow but think HMRC will want to
convict me because of the 9yrs of deceit.Still cant beleive ive got myself in this situation it really wasnt intentional it just snowballed out of control.
Any advice from you kind people would be much appreciated
