tax credit overpayment dispute resolved

[siobhan123]

hi,i posted on here previosly regarding a letter i recieved from tax credits.they wanted proof that my ex partner didnt live with me and i had nothing to show them.they sent me an overpayment of 22grand and a 3grand penalty for lying.i went to cab who in the end were not much help and moved so slowly,ended up making myself ill running around,contacting people,mps etc..anyway in the end i managed to get some documents off my ex and they accepted these as proof.would just like to say this forum was such a great support to me at the time,like everyone else was off my head with worry,convinced i was going to prison and all for something i hadnt done!!so keep up the good work

Thanks for coming back and keeping us informed of the outcome. I wish more people would do this as it shows it's worth fighting your corner when it comes to this sort of thing.

would just add,it really does make a difference to get your local mp on board,they have much more power than the cab and work very quickly.
