REGARDING the new tax credits! My Working Families Tax Credits finished four weeks ago. I was hoping for my new tax credits to start the week after but...NO!
After spending what seemed like a lifetime on the phone, only to be kept waiting whilse listening to Robbie Williams, I was informed that it might now be another two weeks or even more before I am awarded our new credits.
For some reason "out of their control" my form has not yet been processed but was received in January. What a farce this is.
Are they now going to pay my direct debits which are due this week because I sure as hell can't without my tax credits?
Why on earth did this government of ours have to change the way the credits are paid? There was nothing wrong with the old ones and this has caused so much upset in every household I'm sure.
It's like the Child Support Agency. That was a farce when it was brought out, too.
Well, I for one will not be voting Labour.
