My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek at this juncture. Of course benefit cheats should be caught and made to pay back their ill-gotten gains. But the amounts involved pale into insignificance compared to the amount lost through tax avoidance, whether it's the Philip Greens of this world, a football club, or the guy who does a bit of work for you 'for cash'.
And to then pay the likes of Experian for catching out 'cheats' is very worrying. Let's face it - credit rating companies make some horrendous mistakes sometimes and any appeal process can be very long-winded. That's tough enough when someone is refused credit because of an error. To be refused benefit because of an error would be just dreadful.
