Seeking Legal Professional For Harassment, Extortion, Breach Of Financial Code Of Conduct
Him 6 years ago my ex used my circumstances and my ignorance of the tax credit system to claim benefits under my name that I had no knowledge of until break up. All benefits money was paid direct to her account.
She had admitted to HMRC in order to avoid criminal persecution and arranged repayment. 4 years on HMRC, given the mountain of evidence and her admittance extorted over £400 from me saying they have no record of such conversation. Lucky I do record all conversations and have all letters send back and forth. Recently received a letter from a collection agency but no from HMRC that does acknowledge that I do not owe money but the collection agency persist I now pay £889. I would love to be called in to court as they promise and would like to invite any legal professional to review my case.
After 5 years of harassment I am now seeking legal advice and seeking compensation.

I wondered if HMRC used debt collectors and this

suggests they do not
You should go back to the HMRC and confirm that you dont owe money
and send that to the "debt collection" agency
[ texts and telephone calls obviously will not do ]
you also need to match up the claims and numbers to make sure that the debt the collectors are after is the one discharged by HMRC
[ and not something else or a second debt or one owed to a third party ]
as for claiming thousands for harassment
forget it - non starter

Unfortunately, HMRC do use debt collectors - including for tax credit "overpayments". I agree with PP - go back to HMRC. Send them a letter by recorded delivery to HMRC Tax Credits, St Marks House, St Mary St., Preston, PR1 4AT. Mark your letter COMPLAINT. Set out the facts & include copies of your evidence. Send a copy of the letter to the debt collector with a covering letter telling them the debt is disputed so no payments will be made until the dispute is settled by HMRC.
Here's a list of the collection agencies used by HMRC:
