A question about : Housing Benefit situation please help me!

hi

I was claiming job seekers allowance back in 2007, I didn't claim for a few weeks but continued to receive housing benefit, (I was living in a residential place where the key workers paid it automatically) I then left the place I was living so the housing benefit payments would have been cancelled.

I owed literally a few weeks payments worth of benefits.

Now housing benefit from that borough are claiming I owe them more than Ј3000. I have asked them numerous times to send me a detailed breakdown of the dates (which state where this figure of Ј3000 has come from.) They cannot.

I have also asked Job Seekers to send me a breakdown of when I was receiving benefits, but I have been told their new system gets rid of that information and only has information backdating to 2011.

I really need evidence of the exact dates somehow what can I do? is there someway i could try inland revenue to send me p45's from back in 2007? I need some proof of where the Ј3000 figure has materialised from.

thankyou
