In August 2011 my wife rang TC to inform them that she was getting married and informed them of a change of circumstances the guy on the phone said to her that everything should stay as it is.
So end of December 2011 wife loses her job goes to claim JSA and they said they would need to inform TC which wasn't a problem and we heard nothing further from them.
TC stopped July last year so we figured it was just running till then and we couldn't claim anything more.
We got a letter well infact 3 now saying we owe them for an overpayment of £1600 some for my wife working and the other for child tax.
So far we haven't contacted them and I know now 3rd time ignoring the letter they sent could get nasty. we have just moved house and couldn't get all the paper work together to contact them.
So we will contact them soon because I know they will start taking it from her wage next year if we don't or bailiffs will start coming round.
The money owed will probably work out less than that once we call them to sort it as there is some errors on their part.
I'm just annoyed that they have been informed twice now of a change of circumstances and get told everything is ok to find out that it wasn't.
So when it comes to paying back TC I have read loads of people say they only allow you 12 months? do they or have they ever accepted a longer payment plan?
thanks
