Has there been any change in your marital status at any point in the past?
Also, when you say UCCB, that amount refers to the $100 per month per child under 6, are you lumping UCCB and CTB together in what they're reviewing because typically, if they review one they tend to review both.

I love when stuff like that happens. I had a problem with a rental property where I filed the wrong form. CRA called to say I owed a huge amount. I told them I had already spoken with someone, filed the correct form, and the amount would be reduced to nil once the paperwork was processed. They started yelling at me and said they'd put liens on my house and pay cheques. I said I knew they couldn't do that, and if he talked with the person in his office he'd find out the status.
My favourite part was when he told me I had to call the other CRA employee, and get that employee to call him. I said he could call him himself, as I sure wasn't going to do it, or he could just look up the information himself, since he's so powerful. It turns out he was just a collection guy, and had no powers. He wasn't allowed to contact anyone at CRA, and didn't have access to any files. I then lectured him about how it would be pretty hard to put all those liens on places, when he had no power. I told him if he called me again I would file harassment charges.
I still received calls from other people, but CRA took 28 months to process the paperwork. At one point they even sent me a cheque for around $30,000, which was the refund I had already received. They then showed me owing this amount. I'm not sure you should be sending out cheques for $30,000 if you think I owe you that amount. I called them, sent them the cheque back, and then they wanted to charge me interest on the $30,000 for the time it was in my possession. That went over well. After the 28 months they finally got everything through, and I think I was owed about $10 in interest revenue. The point of this long winded story is, it may take some time for everyone to get on the same page. Don't feel threatened when someone calls you demanding money.
