I can assure you that it wasn't my landlord they called into their office, it wasn't my landlord that was given a caution and it wasn't my landlord that was interviewed on tape.
It was me, fortunately I was able to get my landlord to admit that the overpayment was paid to him & fortunately he agreed to pay the money back, otherwise it would have been me they would have taken to court.
Even if the payment is direct to the landlord the person held responsible is the claiming tenant, I know this to be correct as it happened to me.
