Yes! Call A General Election Now !      18 May 2009

By now you've all probably seen the news, and the fact that the Conservatives have started a petition demanding that Gordon Brown calls an election at the earliest opportunity.

Personally, I don't care who you vote for. That's your choice - and we haven't quite lost our democratic rights yet.

But the only way that we are going to achieve any change of the Tax Credit system is if we get rid of the idiot who put it all together. The megalomaniac who refuses to listen to the cries of the poorest, who are forced into debt, simply through claiming this benefit. While MPs of all Parties surf the gravy train!

So, vote for whoever you want. But sign this petition, to make sure that you get the chance to vote sooner rather than later :

Let's all tell Gordon what we think !!

Tax Credit Casualties (TCC) is a voluntary, unfunded, not for profit organisation run by members for members. We cannot take any responsibility for decisions made by HMRC, The Parliamentary Ombudsman, The Adjudicator, or any other organisation, regarding claimants cases. We offer free advice on how to dispute unfair overpayments based on our own experiences, the experiences of other claimants and HMRC guidelines.
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. 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.

Our Standards
TCC was established to provide advice and guidance on disputing recovery of non-fraud tax credit overpayments and to lobby for fundamental change on the inbuilt flaws and inequalities of the tax credit system. 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 not 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. 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.
