My partner and I have only recently statred living together and I sent off the Working Tax Credit forms last week in the hope that we will be entitled to something. Anyway yesterday morning a letter arrives addressed to my OH telling him he has to pay £1400 by the 23rd Nov!!!!!(yes, the day he received the letter!!!!) He rang them and they said that he and his ex wife were over paid in 2003/2004 so he has to pay it back!!! I am soooooooooo annoyed, why isnt she liable to any of it!! Surley if they were both receiving the money then they should split the payment and each be liable to £700!!!! OH is worried that bailiffs will turn up, if they do they will get a hard time from me as everything in the house has been bought by me,NOT OH! I refuse to hand over my belongings to pay a debt of which I didnt receive a penny!!!!
Anyone else had a similar thing happen???
