Not the most exciting topic. But posting to see if anyone else has experienced similar.
We received tax credits for about 18 months when first-born DD was 1.
Even though I proactively updated when our circumstances changed, we still received a (lower) monthly payment.
Then suddenly were told we’d been overpaid and to pay back.
All very stressful (and avoidable?) but I agreed a repayment program. I remember being really happy when it was finally paid off a few years ago.
Out of the blue I’ve just got a letter saying records show we owe 3k??
It’s just impossible given how much I paid back and whatever we originally received.
Why would they agree original payment program and not include the 3k anyway?
How can I prove we’ve paid this. I can access bank records. But I threw all correspondence re tax credits away last month during a declutter. I’m so cross.
