Tax credits overpayment

A question about : Tax credits overpayment

Last tax year I slightly underestimated me income (not on purpose) and I'm left with an overpayment to pay back.
I had estimated my income at Ј18k and I actually earned Ј19.5k.
HMRC are reducing my 4weekly payments by Ј150, I'm 2 reduced payments in and I'm finding it a struggle.

Can I ask HMRC to reduce this amount?

  Yes you can ask, there's no guarantee they will say yes but phone and talk to them about it.
