100,000 Hits and A New Government
Somewhere during all of the political excitement over the past week, the Tax Credit Casualties website had it’s 100,000th totally unique visitor! That means that over 100,000 different people have now visited the website, and the number is increasing fast as you spread the word and tell more and more victims about us.
Hopefully, we have helped each and every one of you to dispute your overpayment bills and free yourselves from the unjust debt that was forced on you by the last Government.
Not bad for a bunch of unpaid, spare-time volunteers, eh! Well done to the whole TCC team, including the silent many who help out on the forum and everyone who spreads the word about the website. Thank you!
No time to rest yet, though. The overpayment figures for 2008-09 would normally have been published by now, but we understand that HMRC were told not to release anything that could have been embarrassing for Labour in the run-up to the election.
Now that’s done and dusted, the figures should be released soon and you can expect there to be around another 1 million overpayment victims that might need our help until the new Government sorts out the Tax Credit mess.
Yes … we are confident that the new Government will hold fast to their promises about Tax Credits. The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives have given Tax Credit Casualties varying levels of support over the years. We have absolutely no reason to believe that they won’t do the right thing now that they are in a position to do so.
Let’s all do everything we can to make this the year that Tax Credit overpayments become just another bad chapter in the book of British history!

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.
