Tax Credits!!
 
Checked UK bank today through the internet and i don't believe it!!
Tax credit people have gave me 6,792.00 pounds!!!!
I wrote a letter before Christmas saying to stop payments as i noticed that they paid a credit into my bank. The letter stated that i no longer live in the UK and gave them our end of year monies earnt before we left!!

Now i know they have made a mistake,but what do i do now!!!:unsure:

i really laid into them last night - i told them november we were leaving, they have a record of that convo - yet they have still continued to pay me!!!

there is an overpayments department. as much as you would like to keep it, you cant.

if you have a high earning savings account, such as ING, might be worth you popping it in there - even if you earn yourself £20 or so by the time they get their arses in gear, will pay your telephone bill!!

Their overpayments number is - 0845 302 1429

Good luck"

:confused: didn't think you could dial 0845 or 0800 (UK low call / freefone) numbers from NZ? We couldn't anyway last year when we tried. Has this changed now? Or is there some other code we should dial first?

i just dialled 0161 44 845...

0161 gets you cheaper international calls

worked for me (but 0800 dont)

Oh ok, thanks. We don't use 0161 for cheap international calls, we use 0505 - so if maybe something to do with our telephone provider that we can't dial 0845 numbers perhaps. But thanks anyway. :thumbup:

Helen, would suggest you phone the overpayments department - you never know, it could be RIGHT and then you can get off to Fiji!!!! :rofl: Let us know how you get on.

Hi

Sorry dont know, but couldnt help noticing stevie G avatar, he scored a fantastic goal on tuesday. We are a family of Liverpool supporters looking at moving to the CHCH area later this year, how long have you been there and how are things going.

Cheers Jads
