Hello Everyone, I was wondering if you could help me. I am in dispute with tax credit over an overpayment of £2271. There is another thread about that which can explain the whole story.

Now i had an appointment with CAB on the 12/08/2014 regarding the tax credit overpayment. The person dealing with my claim suggested that i should start paying something towards it as I received a letter from the tax credit about unless i pay or call them, they would pass the debt to debt collection agency. So on the 15/08/2014 i called that number 0300 and spoke to a guy and said that i am wanting to pay £5 towards it as i am in the process of disputing but as i dont want the debt collection agency involved i will make small payments every month to stop the private debt collection agency getting involved. I made a payment of £5 to them and got a reference number. He even said that someone will call me to look at my financial circumstances but no one ever did.
Yesterday i received a letter from akinika debt recovery asking for the full payment. I did not ring them. Today i called tax credit(0300 number debt management) and offered to pay £5 and said that i made a payment last month just to stop the this debt collection agency getting involved and was told that they passed the debt on the 10th of july and he cannot accept any payments and i have to deal with akinika. I dont want to deal with them or anyone. I am still waiting for the Subject access request details from tax credits. The CAB is dealing with the case as well and in the mean time i only wanting to pay tax credit directly.
Is there anything i can do? Thanks.
