Tax Credits are chasing me for an overpayment they made tax year 2004 to 2006.
I left my now ex husband in january 2006 and I am a lone parent.
The wages for the year were only £1,200 above the estimate. So I have been writting letters constantly requestion information and their reasons as to why we need to pay them back when we were within the £2,500 threashold.
They are now saying that yes I am right about the threashold BUT not in my case because we didn't inform them within 3 months.
1st of all, I left my ex before the end of the tax year
2nd, I left because of domestic abuse
3rd, after everything, how can they expect me to stick around and find out exactly what he did earn???
4th, they are chasing ME for the money, not him.
Please help! I'm desparate to sort this out, I've been to CAB and they can't help me further.
Is there anyone who's been through the same thing? What did you do?
