One debt GONE

lemma1968

I cannot believe it - some of you may know i have this crazy way of paying my tax and VAT arrears in that i make a payment to the HMRC every day Mon-Fri and then make a payment to the VAT side of things every weekend.

I was over a quarter behind to the value of a few thousand with my next VAT return due at the end of May. I wanted to get it dealt with as soon as i could, I'm fed up of surcharges and never want to get in that position again.

I have just spoken to the VAT man...I have not only paid it off...but...wait for it....I AM IN CREDIT BY NEARLY £600:j:j:j:j

I am soooooo relieved. Means that i will be able to make this quarters at the end of May if i top it up.

Sorry, i'm just so happy. I can't remember ever having a nice conversation with the VAT man before. He was laughing at me down the phone I was just so giddy.

Thanks you for listening, I'm going to make myself a green tea in celebration

Thanks Hypno.

well, the cc MBNA would be nice to get rid of. I am thinking of looking into reclaiming PPI as i am and always have been self employed. Problem is, i do not have the past statements that would indicate how much i paid them. I cancelled it in October 2006 cos it was costing a bomb and i was behind.

The tax is a rolling figure which will keep trucking on. Even when i clear these arrears (i may have retired by then, Im "only" 40) i will keep paying them a bit daily so i never get behind again.

Oh i am feeling just so much better knowing its gone.

Well, chirpier ... it's the way of things for me right now. Which isn't a bad thing, just lots of things to think about, and over.

Good to hear. Life gets on top of us all sometimes. Remember us mad people on here if you need to rant.
