Tax credits want money back

[Summerpussy]

For the last year we had£10 a week from child tax credits
They then told us it was swapping to universal credit and we needed to apply .
So we applied and about 6 weeks ago got told we didn't qualify for any money ...
Fine
Today we have both received a letter from tax credits saying we owe the £350 each .
The letter says they will take the over payment out of the universal credit,but we aren't receiving universal credit.
Will they write to me again ,or what ,has anyone else had this

Anyone had the same

Hi,

What was the outcome of this?

Good luck OP. I was told I had an overpayment of CTC of around £3.5k. I couldn't actually add up that they had ever paid us £3.5k or anywhere near it.

I had to pay it back on an arranged payment plan. Even though they could t prove they'd paid me it and I had no evidence that they'd paid me anywhere near that much. I had had payments but extremely minimal ones.

I was in a bad place at the time and didn't have the energy to fight them.

I paid them a full final payment by cashing in a pension pot in the end as I hated being reminded of it every month.

Wow that's a month's salary at a 50k wage you didn't have time to look up? Are you in a better place now as you can still argue this. Seems bonkers that you paid it, if you genuinely don't believe you received it.

HMRC do make mistakes.
