Look into the high recovery payments of over paid tax credits.
Many families are facing a 50% reduction of their tax credits due to over payments. This plunges many families into debt and financial hardship and unable to pay household bills.
The repayment rate should be capped at a lower % and should be spread out over the full year or longer if needed.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure exactly how you want the current rules to change. The maximum reductions are set according to household income. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
