      No, I moved jobs and one of them paid me wrong, so they didn't pay any tax on my earnings for a month (£200)... idiots! Then government screwed up on tax credits, then wanted them back - of course, months later after you have spent it, after being told you wouldn't owe them anything... (£820).

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      ah gooseholla i feel for you :( that seriously sucks :( id just pay back a fiver a month :(

      I forfeited this year's right to credits for the debt to be wiped out. So not so bad. But I am still, technically, losing due to their incompetence.
