A MOTHER said she fears for the welfare of her two young children after a tax agency claimed she was living with two men and threatened to stop her payments.

Aimee Litton, who lives in Eveleigh Way, Royal Wootton Basett said she received a letter from government appointed agency Concentrix informing her tax credit payments would stop as she was living with two adults.

The 34-year-old received £800 per month in tax credits which she used to care for her sons Tyler, eight and Finley, six.

Concentrix, which is tasked with finding mistakes in the tax credit system, hit the headlines after a string of errors including accusing a woman of being married to a dead 74-year-old man and another of being married to 19th century Quaker Joseph Rowntree.

Aimee has joined the ranks of those who have seen their benefits affected by the agency’s mistake

The former courier, said she is also being chased by Concentrix for nearly £4,900 paid between April 2015 and April this year.

“I’m not prepared to give up. I just want my money back for my children. I have got a few pence in my pocket. I literally have nothing now, I had to go to the foodbank just to make sure I could feed my kids. It’s is so upsetting,” she said.

“It’s ridiculous, I live with my two young sons and nobody else. The two men they are referring to are the old tenants. I want them to stop harassing me.

“I have told them that it’s not true but the payments have stopped.”

“They are demanding I prove that I live here with my two children and that I pay them back a huge amount, which I can’t afford. It’s ridiculous

“It’s going round in circles all the time.”

And Aimee said she is so worried about her children’s welfare that she may be forced to hand custody over to her ex husband

“It would be heart-breaking for me to do that but I have to make sure they are looked after. Their father is a great parent but that’s not the point, I want to be able to look after them. It’s a constant worry,” she said.

“I have contacted both HMRC and Concentrix, I want answers, I just want to be able to support my family.”

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) announced it would not renew Concentrix’ contract due to its ‘blanket approach’ when finding errors.

HMRC Chief Executive, Jon Thompson, said:

“We want to reassure customers who have had their tax credits stopped that we will prioritise their cases, and make sure that they are processed as quickly as possible.

“While it’s right that we ensure that tax credits customers only receive the money to which they’re entitled, it is vital that those customers have a high level of service.

“That’s why we have decided not to extend our contract with Concentrix and HMRC is redeploying 150 staff so that customers can get through to advisers and resolve any issues about their claim.”

Concentrix did not respond to calls for comment.
