  • payments of tax credits haven’t been paid into the customer’s foreign bank account for a considerable time
  • a payment of tax credits paid in to the customer’s foreign bank account has been rejected

• where a BACS payment of tax credits has been paid into an incorrect bank or building society account, trying to get the customer’s bank or building society to
  • return the payment to the TCO
  • transfer the payment into the customer’s bank or building society account
    or, where either of those options isn’t possible
  • trying to get the customer of the incorrect bank or building society account to repay the payment of tax credits.
