HM Revenue & Customs

Not to be trusted one inch especially the Tax Credits department.
Tax Credits were not designed in my opinion to help people on low incomes. I think it’s a scheme set up by a malicious Gordon Brown to mess people about by overpaying them and to deliberately get people into ‘debt’.
I was encouraged to claim Tax Credits by a note on a housing benefit letter when I went back to work after an illness caused by an NHS doctor.
During the course of my receiving Tax Credits I phoned HMRC on 3 seperate occasions to make sure I was still entitled and was obviously lied to 3 times and told Yes by HMRC staff.
I had to change jobs to stop Tax Credits payments and haven’t claimed for years.
They still contact me from time to time asking for money and I will refuse every time. According to a Daily Mail article immigrants had their overpayments written off.
September 2012/​/​Eventually had my tax credit overpayment written off with a medical report from a consultant. PAYE rebates processing improved recently.
In 2000 I was put in a foul mood by a grumpy, overgrown schoolkid of a cutoms officer at Dover after a lovely day on the ferry to Calais. What a disgrace considering the illegal immigrants we have in this country. HMRC have caused me a lot of aggravation over the years. Scum just like the Jobcentre.
