If this happened in a bank, someone would get fired. I absolutely, positively, definitely guarantee that no-one will get fired for this and so nothing will ever change. Both Tax Credits and Civil Service Payroll compromised: if they don’t fire someone (eg, whoever signed the acceptance documents for these systems) at the top — and I mean fire, not early retirement on a colossal taxpayer funded inflation proof pension for the next 50 years — then you may as well give up.

P.S. The entire Tax Credit system is a lunatic waste of public money, but people should be blaming Gordon Brown, not EDS or whoever.
