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.

There's an Election rapidly approaching! A date hasn't been announced yet, but this countown timer shows the time left until 3rd June 2010, which is the last possible day that the General Election can be held.

Why is this important to people who receive Tax Credits? Well, it's obvious that nothing is going to change about the overpayment problem under our present Government. A casualty rate of almost one-in-five is quite acceptable to Labour. As long as they can continue to shout, at every opportunity, about the good that Tax Credits do, then the overpayment victims mean nothing to them. They can continue to turn a blind eye to the problems. Shame on them all .... each and every MP who has done nothing to campaign for the fact that the overpayment problem needs to be addressed.

Payback time is coming! But don't wait until the date of the Election is announced. Start campaigning now. Write to your MP and tell them that the bad side of Tax Credits has to change. Tell them that something has to be done, and we're not going to take it any longer! Spread the word amongst your friends on Facebook - there's a share button at the bottom of this page, and it's so, so easy to do. Write to newspapers and magazines. Put up some posters about this site.

Don't do nothing, because then you're just taking on the role of a helpless victim, and you also become a part of the problem. Do something, and be a part of the solution instead! It just takes that little bit of effort. And it makes you feel good, too.

Here's to change and success! Here's to Tax Credit Casualties everywhere!
