  • DWP cannot verify "alleged overpayment"!

    Any advice would be very much appreciated - this has been an ongoing battle with the DWP for over a year when the DWP had a direct earnings attachment made on my salary for a debt of a Jobseeker's Allowance overpayment from 2000-2002 totalling £6578 for which I immediately queried as I new nothing about any overpayment from 15 years ago and this came out of the blue with no previous communication.
    i sent numerous letters requesting info on this alleged overpayment and eventually sent a SAR which I got back along with another letter dated the day before the SAR was sent out CEASING the direct earning attachment asking me to contact the DWP as my circumstances have changed and I had to contact them by telephone immediately, but still requesting repayment. The SAR was very informative mostly about my numerous correspondence to them with only one page with an entry which reads:
    ........JSA(IB) OP 516305 01/09/00-31/01/02 6,578:80 FWD ptnr working.
    Diary texts on the SAR for me shows inputs from the DWP - we hold no qb99 for this customer also on the diary text from DWP it states we do not have a breakdown of the I/pmt, but basically it breaks down to £88.90pw (couple rate?) this has not been put in the letter to the customer as I cannot verify it.
    please can anyone give me advice on what next to do as I am at my wits end?

    were you given anything with the SAR reply that explains to you what the DWP terms (qb99 and l/pmt) mean?
    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

    It doesn't matter where your journey begins, so long as you begin it...

      There was no explanation to qb99 - sorry it was o/pmt (my mistake writing) which I read as overpayment !

        QB99 is a wallet in which hard copy of information and calculations are kept.
        pmt is payment. With the l perhaps low or late or last
        so o/pmt probably overpayment., altho' normally that is OP

            The law on overpayments is far from simple.
            I would suggest calling National Debtline, as they can advise on disputing overpayment claims.
