Dear
Operations Manager,
In
your letter of October 5, which I have received today, you wrote to me that I
owe your department £8247.38, and that from my Pension Credit will be weekly deduced
£11.10. On top of it, I have received today a letter from the Pension service
in which I am informed that I owe you this money ‘for Overpayment’. In that
letter I was informed: ‘You do not have the right to appeal against the
decision to take money off your Pension Credit’.
When
Pension Service found me in debt of £11,956.70 in 2009, I appealed against the
decision by phone, and in a letter of 7 October 2009 I asked Ursula Grum from
the Debt Management: “Would you tell me, please, how you arrived at the sum
£11,846.70, which I allegedly owe you?” In reply, she sent me the ‘Overpayment
Calculation’, from which it appears that all the money that I had received from
Pension Service from 01/08/2005 to 19/10/2008 were simply summed up as my debt.
This on its own shows that it is all wrong.
With
little hope of any positive result, may I ask the Department for Work and
Pensions to investigate on what ground I have been found in debt? If you decide
to review the matter, you may be helped by ‘An urgent request addressed to the
Pension Service’, which I put on my blog http://juliustominquestions.
I
have been thinking lately of returning home, to the Czech Republic. Your letter
of 5 October made me realise that it is not right for me to think of leaving
Britain before this matter is clarified. For as long as the Pension Service is
going to be deducing money from my Pension Credit, I do not feel free to leave Britain.
Yours
faithfully,
Julius
Tomin
