We have told them all of our changes this year but they say they havnt any knowledge of that.I have gone back to work and we know we can manage without tax credits but they will not let us cancel it.They say it is their decision whether they can cancel it and wont reply to letters etc. Also was told by CAB that they allow for £2500 over what we tell them we earn but they say no!!!! IE as an example we put down £18000 this year and it comes in at £19500 we are covered under the wording on their leaflet but they deny it.....is it true or not? I presume so as it says it in black and white. We dont want to be on them anymore as we worry from one year to the next that they will get it wrong and we owe them thousands.

I've not got a whole lot of faith in them myself. Never heard of them refusing to stop paying anyone before.
When i was a single working parent and claiming working tax credit and child tax credit there seemed to be no problem. When my fiance and i moved in together in january last year we told them immediately about the change in circumstances and filled out a form for a new joint claim. The stopped both our payments without a problem (how surprising) then proceeded to lose our joint claim and send me a bill for £240 saying that they'd overpaid me whilst i was single. Legal points aside, it was their mistake not mine and as such i don't think it should be my responibility to repay them. They worked out what i was entitled to not me. Anyway, grumbling aside, we're now waiting to see what, if anything, they're going to pay us for last year and this.
Perhaps if an actual person, rather than a machine, read the forms and the people you speak actually took any notice of you it'd help.
Good luck to you.

From a federal earnings tax attitude... ...while you're single and declare "single - a million" on your W4 you will desire to break even or get an rather small refund. in the journey that your earnings isn't consistent paycheck to paycheck, which could throw issues off, yet in the different course. in case you get an advantage or artwork extra time, the withholding fee will flow up, which might advance your refund. Your $a million,2 hundred according to year activity won't have lots if something withheld via fact they withhold assuming it is your in basic terms activity. yet that quantity might account for perhaps $3 hundred in taxes max. There at the instant are not many possibilities right here. The discrepancy would desire to be from: a million) there is lacking information, like being married and your spouse works, or claiming exempt, or significant non-salary earnings like pastime or dividends. 2) Your payroll branch is making blunders and not withholding sufficient. 3) You claimed "Married a million" somewhat of "single - a million" on your W4. My wager is that in case you seem at your W4, you will locate which you're certainly claiming Married somewhat of single. in basic terms a stoop. communicate on your payroll branch. they are going to have the potential to describe how your withholding is desperate up and would desire to have the potential to grant some clues why that's going on.

Best thing you can do is keep all of the paper work which you have received from 'them' concerning your tax-credits.
If you are getting tax credits, this must mean that you would fall below the poverty line if you did not.
It's not just the individual citizen that the Welfare State has to worry about, it's the number of dependants they have, children etc.

This is terrible that you are so worried about being overpaid tax credits only to have to give them back again - when you have children and are trying to work this is the last thing you need to be worrying about. The government should be ashamed of postings like this.
Contact your local MP and get them to help you. There has been lots of bad publicity about the scheme so get your MP to help you out - that is what we pay them for.
