Actually Campaign ! Please spread the word, and if in contact with any money or current affairs forums, etc., consider posting details about the Tax Credit Casualties, even something brief like:
or:
If you are willing to talk to your local newspaper, radio station, women's magazine etc., about your situation, this is a powerful way of letting the wider public know what injustices are being perpetrated around them. Getting published seems to be part skill, part luck, but what Editors seem to like is topicalities. If an article draws your attention which you think you can link into, it's often worth pursuing with a letter. If you can weave 'Tax Credit Casualties' and the website somewhere into your letter, you can help us reach more people. Not only will this mean that more people blighted by this financial disease will get to hear about us, but we will be sending a clear signal to any politicians reading that we have an organized group and not just a scattering of disgruntled individuals. A reference to our group and quoting of our website or how to contact us will help others to know about us, and politicians to see that word is getting round and votes depend on their commitment to social justice. Please continue to help us keep up to date with new developments, reports, articles, etc. It's good that, as a community, we can share relevant articles and snippets of information, e.g. that a group of pensioners have recently successfully sued the government for malpractice of their pensions (finding out which law firm took this on and how it was funded would be useful to us). If you have an area of interest or specific knowledge, or are keen on research, please let us know, e.g. have you been treated particularly badly because of your ethnicity, disability, sexuality, etc.? Can you help us produce more accessible information? Maybe you could put up a TCC poster or two. You can download and print an A4 size or 2 x A5 size, on an A4 sheet. This is not an exhaustive list, of course, but if as many of us as possible do some of these things, or something similar, we will be well on our way to securing our goal of a Tax Credit Overpayment Amnesty.

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. But legislation, operating practice and individual cases change all the time. 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.
