Hi all... I don't know if I'm in the write section but hope someone can help as I'm a wreck.
So I separated from my partner at the tail end of 2016 (great dad, bad partner), and started a single claim April 2017 and since then. We all loved together in his house as it was inherited and owned outright by him. When we decided to separate, after lots of talking he agreed to let me stay in the house as I would have the children full-time while he tried to get somewhere else to live. He hasn't secured a permanent place and has spent the time since staying in friends spare rooms/sofas/parents even in his car on occasion and has spent the summer at his parents house in France as they've moved there, so because he's never had a full time place his left all his post coming here as it's his house obviously. Regarding finances we don't have an official arrangement money wise, he basically helps me out when I need it with money for bills or kids etc.
Anyway, tax credits wrote me back in April requesting info such as bank statements, copies of bills and info about him. I sent stuff in and told them basically what I've told you all... Now they've come back saying I owe back all my payments since April last year and are stopping all payments! Due to they think we have been living together as of married I think due to money from him to my bank and post coming back to the house.
He's now back in UK and still doesn't have anywhere to live so I'm moving with my mum and he is moving back.
Does anyone know likely outcome? I physically don't know what to do and am a wreck at the thought of somehow paying back all the money... I've appealed basically sent in another letter re-explaining everything. The house is his solely and no mortgage etc hence why his left all his stuff coming here, seeing as the house belonged to him I assumed that would be fine!
Any advice would be really appreciated... where this is likely headed...Whether someone good to contact etc.
Thank you
