HM Revenue and Customs [HMRC] says it will sue US-based services supplier EDS
Unless the supplier steps up compensation payments for failures in its IT support for tax credits, which led to tens of millions of pounds in incorrect payments to claimants.
The Revenue’s chairman Paul Gray says his officials have carefully archived “millions of relevant documents” in preparation for a court case he hopes will not happen.
......
EDS last year agreed to pay HMRC £71.25m, (£71,250,000.00) in compensation after serious problems with the tax credit computer system led directly to gross losses of £209m, (£209,000,000), for the department.

Editor notes:=
This seems very strange to me... The HMRC imply that they are no major problems with the Tax Credits Computer System and payments are correct accept where the clament has made an error.
