Tax Credits Next Payment due.....or not.

Hi all newbie here hope I'm posting in the right section.
I get my tax credits weekly on a Thursday. Last week I received it on Wednesday (16th March instead of 17th) thinking it was one of those extra payments I was grumbled to find out on the Thursday it wasn't it was just early hey ho thought nothing more about it, especially since I've found out its happened to a lot of others.
So today I was talking to my mum about it because I thought maybe it be early this week what with easter coming up and being early last week but it's not. My mum mentioned could it be end of year payment last week to which I fobbed off don't be silly.
Well now I'm in a right panic! I rely on that weekly payment for weeks food gas electric etc.
I used the new government gateway site to check when my next payment is due by. Last week payment was received on 16th website said £xx.xx paid by 17th - correct and received. Today it says £xx.xx. paid by 31st!! Confused Angry
Does that mean there's no payment for the 24th tomorrow? Doesn't help my bank doesn't display payments until around 4am rather than midnight like most others.
I'm am losing it major panic/stress stations!

Have you got children over 16? Thanks for replying btw

Jocar305 · 20/08/2018 23:12

Yeah she's starting college next month, only just 16... I thought it was because I had an overpayment and they hadn't sorted it yet

Jocar305 · 21/08/2018 14:42

Do you know why it's not showing anymore payments? The web chat is busy 🤔

Turner2017 · 21/08/2018 15:26

I don’t know, I’ve been waiting for webchat too x

Jocar305 · 21/08/2018 16:02

Ok if you find out anything let me know x

Turner2017 · 21/08/2018 16:15

Yes same goes for you please

Jocar305 · 21/08/2018 17:00

Yeah I will

Jocar305 · 21/08/2018 18:56

Just been on web chat and they said have I updated my child staying on in education? So I logged on to manage my tax credits to update it. Maybe that's the same for you?

joejo30 · 22/08/2018 09:55

I haven't changed anything on mine yet it's not showing any sept payments and only 1week working tax credits but 2 weeks child tax has anyone else got the same problem?

Jocar305 · 22/08/2018 13:52

Do you a child that's just left school or maybe had an overpayment?

joejo30 · 22/08/2018 14:33

No and as for overpayment I can't see how if nothings changed, it does usually show next 8 payments but changed Monday.

Jocar305 · 22/08/2018 15:17

Yeah mine's only showing next two payments and normally shows 8🤔 I did the web chat yesterday and they said I needed if you have a good 16 year old to update it and it should be done in September

Turner2017 · 22/08/2018 21:02

The webchat doesnt seem to come up for me, keep logging in

Jocar305 · 22/08/2018 21:27

I was just told it should be done by September

Turner2017 · 22/08/2018 21:46

Ok thanks

Turner2017 · 01/09/2018 09:36

Are your payments showing yet? I have no future payments now

Jocar305 · 01/09/2018 10:04

Yeah they are but I don't think my 16 year old is on it , so I've had to change it. But mine is showing next 8 payments again. What is your saying?

Turner2017 · 01/09/2018 10:16

I have no payments showing at all

Jocar305 · 01/09/2018 10:59

Try doing a web chat

joejo30 · 05/09/2018 14:23

I still have no payments showing and due tax credits tomorrow? Has anyone still revived a payment when its not been showing online?

Turner2017 · 05/09/2018 14:25

Mine not showing either, getting worried as wont have any money and my sons birthday next week. Spoke to webchat Sunday and he said it will be done this week at some point

joejo30 · 05/09/2018 15:20

Managed to get on web chat and payment has been issued to bank so will be paid just haven't updated there system for it to be showing, hope this is the case for anyone else in same position.

Turner2017 · 05/09/2018 15:22

Jocar305 · 06/09/2018 11:20
