    I just posted on another query and then saw yours, same prob again. The only suggestion I was given is that if you think you owe tax to pay them an estimated amount to avoid a penalty. If you do not owe any tax then the penalty will be reduced to £0, that has happened to me before so I can vouch for that. HTH - from my other post-
    Yes! Complete nightmare :(
    Couldn't even log in! Decided that maybe I had entered a slightly different password so clicked on link 'forgotten password', big mistake!!! It then changes your password, giving you only the 1st half and promising to email the other half...
    You guessed it, no email!!! I have steam coming out of my ears.
    I rang them, got a robot voice woman telling me that today is the last day and I will get a penalty etc etc. No, really? I didn't realise I had left it to the last minute as usual along with thousands of others...
    I just would like to know if there was any chance of getting a password so that I could at least log in and have the fun of inputting the figures i have sweated blood over the last 2 weeks.
    She gave me a number for the technical team but, no surprise , they are experiencing high call volumes... ha bloody ha!
    To those of you having problems, I feel your pain!! ;)

    Got mine, but now it says my details are unavailable, possibly because I have only just activated and there will be a short delay. Now 3 hours and counting...
