Entitled? Child Tax Credits / Working Tax Credits

Well I'm not bloody entitled and yes I'm bitter! he he. for 3 full days nursery we pay £470 per month and get no help what so ever!argh! Always say I'd be better off throwing Dale out!

 

Sadly it is true tho!! Not right is it?!

 

i don't get it either they have stopped ours cos they had paid us 300 pounds to much and we didn't qualifie for working tax credits either we earned to much

 

I qualify for naff all.

Both me and DH work and when we do have kids the nursery fees will be over £600 per month (my sister is a nursery nurse) and we will only get a little help (like £85 a month) if anything.

So we'll be basically forking out about £500 a month for the privelidge of going to work.

Looks like I'll have to give up on the little luxury's...like food

I just checked for a job i may be getting,
because of my age im entitled to diddly squat!

 

Dont even go there.

I have had so much hassle with the Tax Credits people since they started it is beyond a joke.

Every year i tell them what my OH earns, and i tell them of changes in circumstances as they happen, without fail. And yet i still get overpaid when i complain or make enquiries i get no-where, one minute there saying its your money, the next it's oh nope sorry we were suppose to stop paying you x amount of months ago.

It is total madness. I personally owe them £1700 so far. I cant pay it back. OH has just started doing ovetime at work latley too so i phoned them and told them. I thought i'd ask them while i was on the phone what is the maximum amount of money we would need to earn to get off the credits.

erm for 2 adults and 2 children in our situation our combined income has to be £58 thousand at least. We have no chance.

 

We can get jack sh1t either. Four kids, legally separated and they still won't let me have a penny. I certainly don't earn more than £60,000. Of course they take into account the £3.60 a month maintenance payment I get for Daniel

And if they ever do decide to give me anything, they'll only backdate it for 3 months, but they overpaid me a couple of years ago and backdated my repayments for the whole year. PANTS, I say, PANTS

 

hmmm no comment!!!!

 

Old topic, but since changing jobs etc i had a look and we can now get WTC

 

i had to owe them £3,000, might as well go on the dole, they will still find a way of getting it...

i feel sorry for all of you that pay so much for childcare, i think the goverment should do something to help. when i lived in canada the goverment helped parents who went out to work, you only pay 10 dollars a day, and the goverment payed the rest, it does not matter how much money you made...

 

i have my reasons not commenting on the *******

 

I just did an estimate for if i do have a child and I would get about £244 a month.

 

Thats one thing im worried about with claiming them. What if they get it wrong and we have to pay them back!

 

disputes dont mean f all to them hun.... i nvr even got an apology after 6 month of not a penny off them!

 

Well I phoned them up, after bein nilled for Rebecca due to an overpayment and I am entitled again cause of Lucy and my SMP. I phoned them 10 days ago, still not got award notice thru. Fookers....
