Child tax credit paid £930 into my account today........

[Northerner]

Plus another payemnt of £300. What should I do?

Has this happenned to anyone else?

Ring and check. I received an extra £600 last year as I hadn't had enough during the year. Wouldn't it be lovely if it was an unexpected windfall?

Shift it to a deposit account, if it is a mistake they will want it back eventually.

Put it in a high interest account, and when they want it back tell them they will have to wait 30/60/90 days.

Then if you make any interest spend it on yourself.

Don't spend it FGS they'll want it back next week. They are so crap!

i got asked to pay back once!

pls ring them just in case its an error as last year we were paid £500 cos of been underpaid but i rather check it with them than they chase it up off me

Will be lovely if it's an unexpected wind fall.

I'm on the phone to them now. Any bets on how long I'll be holding?

Def don?t spend it and make sure that you contact them. A girl in the street was asked to pay back a load of tax credit as they had calculated it all wrongly and gave her a massively hard time as it had gone into an overdrawn acc and she had probs returning it quickly. They were threatening to charge her the interest if she delayed, not sure how it was resolved as haven?t spoken to her for a few days but she was mightily stressed out by it and they were quite threatening with her, making out that she knew it was a mistake and was stringing them along re repayments

Just spoken to them and it's right!!!!! They underpaid me last year!!!!!

YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fab !!!!!!

i am so happy for you - have a drink on me!!

This is devine intervention - I swear!!!

We're on holiday next week and the exhaust fell off our car yesterday which is costing us a fortune and eating into our holiday money. Now we can have a fab holiday!!!!

In that case you tight wad.............

You require the following........

A trip to town

A window seat in Bettys

And a Fat rascal...........................

WOW!!
My DH is self emplyed and never managed to get round to doing the forms I know we are eligible.
Maybe I aught to sort it out!! Can you apply retropspectively??
Our books are always done retrospectively at the last minute and so it seems almost impossible to do the paperwork as we are nearly two years behind in books IYKWIM.

Virtual fat rascals's all round LGJ!!!!!! Care to join me?

Be rude not to

Mmmmmmm.....

Bagelbird - you should def fill in forms. Don't think it's too late.

wahey northerner.

btw you live in harrogate dont you? DH and I stayed there this weekend and its such a lovely, lovely town I loved it!

Pecka

It is improving..........visually it is beautiful.

10 years ago, it was full of old people and Volvos, used to be known as Gods waiting room.

Yes Pecka I am in Harrogate and it is lovely.

Where did you stay?

I thought there were loads of fit men! Was ogling them all the way through the argentina v germany game my hubby insisted we watched!

Yes do tell where did you stay ??

Just the travel lodge Northerner.....left the hotel to DH to sort and as ever he didnt bother even looking! Saw loads of lovely places I would have liked to stay tho....

Wish we had a spacenk too

i dont want to be party pooper, but make sure you get the reason why in writing. they did this to me a few years back said they had underpaid me then stopped my payments even though it was there fault.

Don't say just the travel lodge, it's quite nice!

I used to work at the Old Swan and The Majestic - they are lovely.

There are fit men here you are right - lots of wealthy ones driving porsches too!

Pleased for you northener
