Welcome to Tax Credit Casualties
Welcome to Tax Credit Casualties (TCC), founded in January 2005 in response to the shambles of Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits, and the overpayment bills blighting peoples lives. This website aims to bring all the issues and information you might need together in one place, in as logical and simple a way as possible.
If you're new to our site, please Join Our Forum and post the details of your case in the New Members section. This is where most of the support happens, and the Forum volunteers will be able to answer your questions. Almost always, the first bit of advice you will be given is to Follow the Dispute Steps, so please get yourself off to a good start with Dispute Steps 1 and 2 first.
Now that we've had a change of Government, it's more important than ever to join in with our campaign for an amnesty of all non-fradulent Tax Credit overpayments. Whereas Labour weren't listening, both the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have stated some intention to sort out the Tax Credit mess.
Read our latest letter to David Cameron and the latest overpayment figures.
With both Parties joined in our coalition Government, we have no reason to believe that they will not make good on their promises. Over 1 million overpaid Tax Credit claimants a year are hoping that justice will finally be done, and that this vile system becomes what it should have been, had it been properly planned and implemented in the first place!
A very easy way that everyone can help our campaign, and other overpayment victims too, is to put up a couple of posters about this site. Even easier, there are share buttons at the bottom of every page on the site so that you can let all of your friends know that we're here, whether they're on Facebook, Twitter, Buzz or any other site. So please spread the word!
It just takes that little bit of effort ... and it makes you feel good, too. The more 'members' we have, the bigger our voice if we should have to continue our campaign in a big way.
Here's to change and success for Tax Credit Casualties everywhere!

Who We Are: Tax Credit Casualties (TCC) is a voluntary, unfunded, not for profit UK organisation run by members for members. We offer free advice on how to dispute unfair overpayments based on our own experiences, the experiences of other claimants and HMRC guidelines.
Our Standards: TCC was established to provide advice and guidance on disputing recovery of non-fraudulent tax credit overpayments, and to lobby for fundamental change on the inbuilt flaws and inequalities of the tax credit system. TCC operate in a professional manner and endeavour to give accurate and appropriate advice based on information provided by members. TCC endeavour to respond to members as quickly and efficiently as possible, given the voluntary nature of the organisation and limited resources available. TCC is an inclusive organisation and will treat all members in a fair and equitable manner.
Disclaimer: Please note that we are not tax professionals and are working on a voluntary basis, unpaid, in our free time. Between us, we have a lot of experience and knowledge in this area, gained over the last few years of supporting victims and helping them fight for justice and their rights. Whilst TCC provide guidance and information on how to handle disputes, and even provide an advocacy service in some instances, neither TCC as an organisation nor any participating members are responsible or liable for outcomes of disputes, which remain wholly the remit of HMRC, the Adjudicator and/or the Parliamentary Ombudsman, as appropriate and dependent on the stage of dispute. We cannot take any responsibility for decisions made by HMRC, The Parliamentary Ombudsman, The Adjudicator, or any other organisation regarding claimants cases. Legislation, operating practices and individual cases change all the time, and while we aim to be professional and accurate at all times, please understand the circumstances we are working under and accept our support, guidance and information in the sprit it is offered; goodwill and camaraderie.
