ReplyDeleteThis was where I was coming from in my first post, maybe I need to post more detail in the future.
I have been dealing with the CSA for years and they have the same style. I had to pay so much maintenance that I could not afford my rent and other bills so ended up giving up a good job because I had nowhere to live. They showed no interest in these facts and just wanted their money.
HMRC has policies. The companies would have been closed down as a result of a serious non compliance or as a result of not attempting to ask help. They have to decide in these cases if the customer is a cant pay or wont pay. They help people who cant pay if its within the guidelines they work from. If its someone who refuses to pay (wont pay) i think they dont wind them up soon enough. The people who are working for them should know that they are not paying over there tax liabilites.
