My EDM 400 FAMILY TAX CREDIT REPAYMENTS 23.06.2005
Hemming, John
That this House notes that there is a substantial problem with the hardship caused by the clawback of overpayments of family tax credit; and calls for no clawback to occur until the weekly amount of clawback is agreed verbally, by email or in writing by the recipient
Relates to the biggest problem that people face who are on tax credit. The government decides how much money to take from people without talking to them, starts directly debiting it and waits until they squeal.
I wrote a letter to Dawn Primorolo (Paymaster General) on 22nd June, resent it on 12th July because of no response and a month later have still not had a response. I am going to find where her office is and deliver it in person this time.
Much that there is a lot of chaos dealing with tax credits if they changed the system this way it would not cause so much personal grief.
