This family has four children all aged under ten. Normally the family manage their finances as they budget well, but they don’t have any savings. Their benefits have changed from Tax Credits to Universal Credit, resulting in a backdated Council tax bill to be paid upfront and owing money for overpaid tax credits. The tax credits overpayment will be taken directly from their Universal Credit future payments, which means they will be getting less each month. These bills are causing the family lots of stress.
