Excellent progress. Well done on your first 3.5 months of very regular payments.

Almost at £20k paid off for the year - that is fantastic!!

Another £100 = £7800.

Got a shocking and horrid letter from the HMRC today to say that I was not paying my tax bill and that they were thinking of taking action against me. After having a huge panic attack, we spoke to them and some dippy admin person had looked at my tax account and said that I was only putting in £100.....PER WEEK! :eek:

Was she blind or what? :mad:

The nice lady at the revenue checked the account and apologised profusively.

She said that she was writing in capital letters on the account that i was paying £100 a day and i was to be left alone and she was cancelling the tax demand there and then.

Pretty awful shock, i can tell you.:rolleyes:

Blimey, lemma - that is not the sort of letter you want to be getting!

Thank goodness they could see that it was an error on their part.

Hypno, my stomach was doing somersaults and i felt my head was about to explode such was the feeling of panic i had.

It goes to show though that they do not always get it right and you have to be prepared to challenge them...well, my hubby challenged them actually cos i have given written authority for him to do so. I would probably get too emotional

I am so bad that I feel panicky when I hear about things like this, even if it doesn't affect me personally. Especially when one is trying so hard to put things right.

Have a lovely weekend, lemma.
