Hello everyone I've got some issues. In years 2011-2012 I've been overpayed witch child benefit. I did recieved letter that my circumstance changed and they overpayed for that period. I agreed with them and arranged repayment plan which started in 2013 and it will be completed in 2020. There was no fine no court etc. just whole amount need to be repayed. My question is this will be under good character? It could refuse my application? I'm still paying it back there was no gaps in repayments. Do I need to declare it? If yes where should I state it on my application. Thank you in advance for all your answers.

I can assure you that there is no case of breaching any good character requirements. Since you were not prosecuted at any stage you only repaying what you were overpaid. I am certain of this because something similar happened to an associate. There is no need to mention it in your application as there is no such provision anyway.
