piggy and babs 544 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 well six weeks gone by still not recieved any confirmation from tax office, so decided to go down today make another appointment at tax office was lucky got one for 3pm this afternoon. well in i go wait twenty mins to be seen i was early but they 10mins late and she had no one before me., not the same lady so had to explain every thing again and show her paper work she looked at computer said yes email had been sent 15th jan i said well i still have not heard anything from them and was told i would have confirmation within six weeks . i asked if they could ring and find out what was happeningafter looking and finding out they did not have a direct number for the department she needed she had to go throughthe number at call centre but as she got a direct line for that she got through straight away now being told they had not got this email and she has to send it again and then they had to remove the p14 that is causing all the problems then updatemy records before they could do anything and they could not do this untill they had recived the info from nottingham tax office again and it has to come from someone higher up than the person who was dealing with me so she had got tosend it to her mamager to pass on to the under payment dept could be six to eight weeks againand inbetween time i sould pay the payments that i had been payingas they would say i had defaulted on the payments and take me to court .. i told them i would not pay as they had addmited to me they were in the wrong so take me to court and if i had not heard anything in the next 28 days i would sue for stress and harrisment she look at me a bit surprized and said she would make a note of it in her letter to the relivant departments. we wait to see. keep you informed. on the pluss side i said that because of there mistakein my assesment due to this i have been paying 20 per cent tax on my city council pention of just over 100 pounds a month she ajusted my accout for that and gave mea new tax code wich means i will no longer be paying tax as i dont earn enough to pay tax so at least a bit of a result promised i would get letter to me and city council within seven days, well we will see.

Commo 1,292 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Don't you just LOVE the way these things are always in the interests of the client? Do we expect HMRC to disagree with the action? Have you tried to ring the HMRC now and not been slightly annoyed and angry with the "speed" of answering? I admit that if and when you do eventually get through an answer to the query is usually forthcoming, but to try and discuss anything with the slightest hint of complication, as in Babs case for instance, could be a nightmare, and with the extra number of calls that will be generated, how do they expect to cope? Rather cynically I think that perhaps this might have more to do with making even more folk unemployed and presumably make "savings" for the benefit of the Exchequer.

mick2me 3,033 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I bet its an 0845 or 0871 number! (Quick search) Yes it is! 0845 300 0627 There are alternative national numbers that can be rung from your mobile call allowance See http://www.saynoto0870.com/ 01355 359022 Taxes Helpline This is “overseas” number. Withhold your number (using 141) when calling from UK or else the call will be blocked. Expect to be told off for not using premium number! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,524 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Well done Babs, your perseverance finally paid off. I got an 8 page form today from HMRC relating to my Dad's tax. He passed away on 6th April, the first day of the new tax year. In bold print it states that this information they require relates to the period 6th April 2013 to 6th April 2013 !!!!!
