New Media Awards 2008

Tax Credit Casualties

Nominated in Community activism category.

I nominate Tax Credit Casualties, a website to help those caught up in the tangled mess of the Government Tax Credit System.

3 nominations from readers

  • They have tirelessly helped hundreds of people, like myself, who are victims of tax credit errors, mostly where they demand thousands of pounds back after agreeing you are entitled to the money in the first place!!

  • I think this organisation should win this award for the sterling work they are doing regarding a major misdemeanour by the Inland Revenue.

    Without this website, I would have not received the necessary advice, help and support to clear my name against a debt which was incurred entirely due to the Inland Revenue's incompetence.

    The step-by-step guide on the site alone is invalueable. The support and advice provided is excellent and the communication from the site managers is first class.

    The work they do provides hope to people such as myself, who suffer daily at the hands of the Inland Revenue and their incompetence.

    I have no hesitation in submitting this nomination for TCC....a job well done!

  • As a person who has been incorrectly 'targeted' by HMRC for the overpayment of Tax credits. They were the ONLY orginisation who were able to offer us advice and support in fighting our claim against the claim.

    With there help we were able to see that we were not the only ones being treated so unfairly, without there help and continued support I am sure that we would have resigned ourselves to our fate and struggled to repay the inflated claims from HMRC.

    I AM SO VERY THANKFUL THAT THE TCC WERE THERE FOR MY FAMILY AND I WHEN WE NEEDED THEM MOST, HENCE MY NOMINATION.

  • I am very pleased to join those nominating the TCC for an award. They are one of those orginisations that 'appear' out of no where to help those in dire needof assistance.

    For to long Her Majestys Government have 'bullied' members of the public into repaying Tax Credits that they had incorrectly awarded, now the TCC is there to offer help and advice to us all.

    I was at my wits end when I was directed towards the TCC, I hate to think where My family and I would be now if they had not helped.

    Good luck in there nomination they deserve it.

  • I like 50,000 other people are sorry I heard of Tax Credits I have been fighting for 3 years, with no help from HMRC, just DEMANDS for ALL monies back. TCC have helped me think positive and hopefully see light at the end of the tunnel, without them I would have resigned myself to pay HMRC back all the Tax Credits they say I owe them. Thank you TCC.
