Does anybody actualy understand this? If you do could you please explain it to HM Customs and Revenue because they dont.

I am down as haveing no job. Karen is down as working full time. Michael gets nothing for his disability living allowence and yet they still say we  owe them £1500 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Karen is very good with forms and we have kept all the past letters and statements (which includes estimates following final statements) we have just spent 2 hours following the paper trail and it makes no sense at all and when you ring up the 'helpline' they dont even understand their own forms.

This was obviously one of Tony B Liar's ideas as it dosnt work. What the hell was wrong with the inland revenue sorting it all out at source????

sleeplessparadise:
How on earth can you owe them money? And in such a large amount.  :? That is ridiculous.

Bob696:
Apparently we cant appeal their decision until we recieve a final statement. We had one of those once and a week later we got an estimate. When we tried to appeal we were told "but your last statement was an estimate so you cant appeal" :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

All they have to do is keep sending estimates and we cant appeal against it.

Time to see if our MP is worth anything (yeah right)

edit. Oh yeah and they cant do anything at the moment when you ring up as the cumpter system keeps crashing so it has been taken off line  :roll:

yup same here.. every year they give us X amount.. then next year they say they have overpaid us.. and then proceed to take the money.. then when we re apply they cock it up again, so we are back to square 1..lot simpler before blair put his oar in.....im on 12k a year and t'other half is a 'housewife' but they reckon we owe then most years about 5k!! madness. when it swapped over they sent our neighbour 14 giros in 2 days ading up to about 4 k, she went straight up to see them and said that this cannot be right... their reply was 'IT IS CORRECT THE COMPUTER  SYSTEMCANNOT MAKE MISTAKES'.. next year she had to repay the 4k...makes you wonder!!!
