HMRC Collection / Enforcement (Help Needed)
Hi all,
I need some advise on how to deal with HRMC and stop them from coming to my house, applying crazy charges, taking my goods and making me bankrupt (which will cause me to lose my new job) all down to a problem with self assessment tax , charges and interest from claiming child benefit.
Really don't know what to do but I know that they can reclaim tax by adjusting the tax code which I assumed had already happened as my online tax code seemed to change ever few months .
A collection office turned up at my door last week, demanded £75 for his visit and insisted that I somehow sort out £11000 dept.
I offered to make a token payment of £500 and asked to have the payments taken via my tax code. He didnt agree to this but said that I needed to speak to the dept management team which I did. they advised me that I needed to complete my self assessment by registering, then waiting for an activation code and finally completing the submissions before we could do anything.
My worry is that I will not be able to do all this within the 14 day time limited the HMRC collections persons placed on me and I understand they have unique powers meaning they can enforce bailiffs without needing to go to court.
What can I do ? I was about to sent a letter asking for the payment to be taken from my tax code and pleading my case (almost begging etc) but wanted to ask for some advise first.
Anyone offer any help on what I should do.?
Thanks
Scott
