I will explain then wait for any responses. In May 08 my hubby left me only for about a week but in that time i contacted the tax credits people and explained and the claim became a single persons claim as i was offered my old job back and hubby at that time made it clear he would not be coming back. After the week we talked and he came back so i called the Tax credits people and explained that we were back together and could they put his name back onto the claim, they said NO as it would have to be cancelled and a new claim restarted. Fine i thought no problem. In our old claim we were paying back overpayment which came out of the monies we were getting and thought nothing of it, the new claim form came we filled it out and sent it back, a few days later a bill came from the IR for the overpayment saying we must pay it all back or make arranagments to pay it back. I called them and askedd if it could be added to the new claim and they said NO as it was under the old one and now we must pay it. We agreed a repayment provisionally with them and had started to pay it back then we went BR, now the OR has said that it included in the tax credits and we pay it back that way, but we dont, we were billed and all bills and letters about the agreed payments i sent to her. She confused me as i thought that because it was a bill before BR and its not included in the payments we have per week that it should be written off. Now im not so sure. Should i still pay the IR as like i have said i had bills and an agreement reached. As i said both the IR and the Tax credits people said it is not included in the new claim and can not be included as the old one was cancelled. Where do i stand and what should i do. My OR did not really know what she was doing and that has not given me great comfort. Any advice please.
