I rang them in April to inform them that I had had a pay rise. They then INCREASED my child tax credits (not my working tax credits) from �11 a week to �40 a week. I was baffled. A few months later I rang them to say my son was now 18 and they, quite rightly, stopped my money and then told me I owe them �170.
