Good morning,

What benefit do they say was over paid?
How much are they claiming?
Personally I would raise a formal complaint with the " Manager" at the Debt Management Office and send by signed for post.

Itemise each part of the complaint e.g. You do not acknowledge any such debt,, you were not claiming any benefits at the time this alleged debt is supposed to have arisen.

No proof has been provided that you are liable for any such debt.

I would also mention the application of the Statutory to an unproven debt, and that there has been no acknowledgment that you have made a SAR.
