So l have just received a letter saying l owe £2k from 2015 in working tax credit payments. This was the last year l claimed as my DD was at college and then went to university.
I have had no letter or notification before today. Although l did move 5 years ago but the government had my address for tax and stuff since l moved.
My partner is freaking out. I think it's just a mistake or if not l can pay it back in inslatments.
There is no breakdown on the letter as to why l have been overpaid. To be honest at the time l thought it was quite alot of money a week while l was working part time but l always updated them with change of circumstances so can't understand why 6 years later l have this.
Anyone been in this situation and actually got the debt cancelled. Obviously l will phone them on Monday and try and get to the bottom of it just confused now
