Thanks, getting all documents together and will post off this week. I just assumed they know my pay as it was PAYE and they would adjust accordingly. Guess I will end up with an overpayment and hopefully agree an affordable monthly amount. Will know next time, just very worrying and stressful, glad when its over

Thanks, just a worry. Will send everything in everything and see. Will send tomorrow, may not send bank statements Straight away but if they write back and ask will send then. just uncomfortable sending bank statements. I suppose they don’t need them anyway as once they see p60 and payslips I am well over anyway so makes no real difference I guess. They will be taking all back regardless I assume . won’t be doing it again and dreading their reply!! Kind regards

Hmrc , compliance officers or bailiffs etc.

Thanks , am I not entitled to it up until the point I breached the threshold? Guess not. not looking forward to sending information off. Expecting people knocking on door as it is! Thanks, will sort this before I try universal credit. Kind regards

Yes double that little was supposed to be for two months but kept getting extended

Thanks. It says just child tax credit on my online account doesn’t mention working tax credit . It goes into my wives account. She does not work and never claimed job seekers. I guess why they are checking my eldest is still in education , which he is 100%. Just the job I had was well over the allowed threshold . Not working now. i just assumed they would stop when over the amount but didn’t. They asked for proof my eldest is in school months ago and I am sure we sent but maybe we didn’t . once I send P60 I guess I will have to refund it all. my fault just worrying.

Understand. Should I send everything in then? They eBay stuff is not much and only got what I paid for it when I bought it . Old football shirts etc. If I sent everything else would they chase bank statements. Never thought about it as it was stuff I bought and then sold for no profit. Only sold £50 per week. if they can legally request them I guess I must just wanted it over quicker as can’t eat and sleep kind regards

Sorry to trouble people. I received a letter “We need to check your tax credits claim” 2020-21 from Hmrc. It asks for bank statements Jan-Mar 2021, P60, P45 for both me and my wife, she doesn’t work. Plus wage slips I have three boys oldest 17, all still in educations, they are asking for proof also that my eldest in still in school, he is but unsure why asking, that is no issue. I lost my job after covid may 20 and started a new job Apr 21, I assumed , as I was paying tax , NI etc to HMRC directly at source (PAYE) they would amend it. They didn’t. I worked there From Apr 21 til June 22, I don’t anymore. I have this letter from them and they are saying I need to supply all documents by 27th November. At end they mention if anything I wish for them to take into account where they may consider a penalty please let them know. Also if they suspect me of criminal offence they may carry put an investigation. Is this a standard letter.? Very scary. I admit it was my error and I should have notified them, however, after being out of work for 9 months and with covid we left it. Stupid. I can send them my P45 and P60, wage slips etc (they must know exactly anyway as I was PAYE) , this will disqualify me from credits, but I am happy to pay back as compared to stress a result. They say we got £9,000 of tax credits 20/21. I don’t want to give them my bank statements as had help from parents with income plus I collect football memorabilia and was selling items to make ends meet on eBay, but these are /were my own personal collection. If I have to send them these I can but prefer not as will drag it on as will have to explain it all. Should I fill in the form they sent and send all the details they want, P45, P60, proof for sons school, wage slips etc. and leave bank statements off. I guess once they get this they will demand the £9,000 back, just happy to close it and then set up a payment plan. Would this be ok?
