Get it touch with you MP urgently, and explain you situation..also get the CAB on the case,click on the HOME link above, it will show you how to dispute any overpayment.
Send all letters back to the HMRC recorded delivery, they like loosing them, same as they seem to loose peoples re-newal forms it seems..
The truth is out there.. GO get it......Non Illigitamus Carborundum
sorry you've had to join the not very exclusive club or overpaid claimants. Robert's advised you how follow the home link to learn how to dispute - there's a step by step guide and template letters for you to use. Also please sign our petition (link on the homepage of the website).
I think HMRC should reinstate your payments once you have informed them that you are disputing, so make sure you put that in your letter.
Good luck and post again if you need help or to let us know how you're doing.
I will definitely keep in touch and let you no how we're doing and signing the petition was the first thing i did. It's a relief to be able to discuss this with other people , and knowing there is help out there .
new and overpayed
