Concentrix

EDM number 396 in 2016-17, proposed by Chris Law on 05/09/2016.
Categorised under the topic of Benefits policy.

That this House condemns the treatment of UK citizens by Concentrix, a multi-billion pound American business services company contracted by HM Revenue and Customs to investigate alleged benefit fraud, paid on a results basis when it cuts the tax credit bill, profiting from stopping payments to those most in need; notes that thousands of people on low incomes, including many residents in Dundee West constituency, have been unfairly hounded by Concentrix and accused of cheating the benefits system by being wrongly accused of having a partner living with them and contributing to household income, and have had their tax credits suddenly cut off without warning causing an immense amount of stress and hardship and pushing many families into poverty; further notes that to reverse the sanctions families are required to gather an extensive amount of paperwork which can be difficult and can take a long time to collect leading to extended periods of sanctions; and urges the Government to investigate the conduct of Concentrix before more people experience the appalling consequences of the brutal and disrespectful approach toward the legitimate needs of that company on behalf of the Government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
