Child tax credit

[Panickymum678]

This is my first time on mumsnet. I am so worried. I received a letter saying that Tax credits are investigating me. They want so much information. I’m terrified that I’ve been singled out.
Has anyone else ever had a letter like this ? Please help ; if you can.

99% of the time they are random compliance checks.

What sort of info do they want? Could someone have reported you for anything?

Afaik lots of checks are being made at this time.
Answer the questions one at a time and be honest.
Are you doing something you haven't declared op?

Does anyone else have post coming to your address? Do you have a partner staying over ? These are the most common reasons for compliance checks. They may suspect you are not single.

Go on line and make sure your details are up to date for a start.

Nothing to worry about. Unless you have cheating the system.

What info are they wanting?

There's been a few posts about these recently. It must be 'the season'.

As a PP says, you have nothing to worry about unless you have been claiming as a single parent when you have a partner living with you.

Agreed. As long as you've declared all assets/income etc you'll be fine.
