Child tax credit

[Naro73]

Hi I wondered if anyone can help me, I have received a letter from HMRC asking for £7500 dated from 2008 to 2014, I have spoken to citizens advice and they have spoken to hmrc who have said I can not appeal it and I owe it, is there anything I can do, can I get it status barred or anything else.

AFAIK it never becomes statute barred, altho' I have heard if over 6 years old they don't try court

I had a similar issue a good few years ago and found I was hitting my head off a brick wall with them. In the end I served a SAR to include phone calls - end result was them owing me.

How do I serve a SAR please you try to google things and get no where, no idea where to start, I thought citizens advice and was my best place but hit a brick wall with them

Look in the Shorcuts panel on this page

SAR = Subject Access Request - when it came there were 2/300 pages & 2 CDs of phone calls, it was the phone calls that caught them out.
