Concentrix/HMRC and childcare!!!

Hope someone will be able to help. Received the dreaded Concentrix childcare letter in March requesting a years worth of childcare receipts and bank statements. Was rather upset as I'm a widowed mum with a special needs child working 40 hours a week to make ends meet. I pay for a lot of childcare as although DS is secondary school age he can't be left alone without supervision. Realised when I calculated the figures that I had overestimated the amount I was paying so reckoned I would need to pay some of it back. A week ago I received my documents back in the post from Concentrix.
Then I received two payments I wasn't expecting from tax credits into my bank account. I rang Concentrix who said my case was closed and they were unable to make a decision so they have referred my case back to HMRC. I can't get through to HMRC they say I need to speak to Concentrix!! I don't want to spend the money as I'm sure they've paid me in error. Help!!!!!

So concentrix have passed by case back to hrmc. Hrmc can't say what what's going on. I have a feeling it's bad. They are saying I will get a letter from concentreix and then my award notice will be sent out within 10 days of receiving the letter. At least there is an end in sight. Hopefully receive the letter in the next few days. I know I have an overpayment. I don't think it's huge but worried I will get fined. For making mistakes. This has caused me so much worry. Why can't they say why they have done. on the phone. Another load of sleepless nights.

I have started to ring Hmrc now to see if concentrix have updated and put notes on my file easier than trying to get through to them, I get a bit of am idea if it's been processed or not yet
