Sunday Solution / Bradbury&Co.

redarko

They were my accountants and they've retained a lot of money from my salary to pay HMR&C but they haven't paid them yet. I'm being charged for this and Bradbury are making interest themselves.

These two companies have the same director.

The problem is that they haven't paid yet any tax for the period 2007/8 they won't return my calls keeps getting excuses from them, anyone know whats going on or can give some advice about what should be done at this point?

I am in exactly the same situation.

I have outstanding tax liability from 2007/2008 that still bradbury and co have not yet released to HMRC. From forums I have found at least 40 people affected, although speaking to a rather disgruntled employee, who works there, earlier today apparently 1400 contractors have had their 2007/2008 redone and resubmitted - I imagine the majority are affected.

The company director is a chap, Andrew Nyri. He runs the front company called sunday solutions that gets the contractors in and also the accountancy company called bradbury and co. (sorry as a new user I cant post internet links but they do have websites)

When I first found out the tax I owed HMRC had not been released from bradbury I tired for TWO months to get through. Then I got another letter from HMRC saying it was about to be reported to local debt collectors. I'm very close to just paying it myself and taking legal actions against them, but i doubt it as that would probably cost more than i am owed.

I really at a loss who to take this too, this company needs serious investigation and this guy needs to be accountable. Watchdog would have a feel day. I finally managed to get through to him again this week (had to threaten a personal visit). His attitude his amazing, I demanded he sort it out this week and he got back to me to say he had spoken to the HMRC and it had been sorted. Needless to say, I called HMRC DMU and was told that the agent had recorded that he had been 'Very rude, saying we were being unreasonable and then put the phone down'. Beggars belief.

The thing is they sell themselves as a very professional company, they are not small and have a few hundred employees as far as I am aware. I had no trouble with payment or invoices when using them (i'm paye now). it just getting this damn tax released. I still have the 2008/2009 pain to go through yet.

So in summary, I owe HMRC money, bradbury has that money but wont release it. crooks.

PM me if you want m8, dont think i cant help but we may be able to come up with some ideas. Unless someone here can offer advice

You need to be reporting them to Trading Standards who are probably the only people who can take any action against them.

Sadly, as you've found to your cost, the term "accountant" isn't protected by law in the same way that "solicitor" or "doctor" is and there is absolutely nothing to stop anyone setting themselves up as an accountant and conning people like this.

Had you used a "chartered" firm, you'd at least have a professional body to complain to - most qualified accountants pull their finger out when complaints are made to theor professional bodies as they risk being thrown out and losing their valued "chartered" status. Also, "chartered" firms have to have professional indemnity insurance (and the professional bodies check that they have it) to cover clients' losses, which I suspect this firm of cowboys won't have.

It seems that the problem is with "Sunday Solutions". I know nothing of these people but a Peter William Bradbury and several of Bradbury & Co.'s staff appear to be members of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

Wookey

If the OP and trueaccent get talking in pm's there best option may be to contact trading standards together, a joint action with themselves and any others they may know of might yield better results. Personally i would never give monies to an accountant to pass onto HMRC, find out your liability and write out the cheque to HMRC, no one else.

I think its worth noting (and important) that there are two Bradbury and Co accountants in the uk.

Bradbury and Co based out of driffield in east yorkshire have nothing to do with this. I'm sure they are respectable company and are members of acca.

This is Bradbury and Co based out the tramshed, Bath. Sorry I can post links yet. but web search on bradbury and co and tramshed and you'll hit their site.

They have finally resumitted by SATR for 2007/08 again. awaiting for them to send payment.

From my side unfortunately nothing has changed.

They keep promising but they're apparently not doing anything. At least they haven't shutted down their office, that leaves me some small hope.

I will contact the traiding standard and keep looking for people in my same situations, if we have to find a lawyer it would be better if we can join on this I suppose.

I am in a fairly similar sitiaution. My tax is now (finally) paid to the taxman, but I am owed many thousands that Bradbury have retained. I have spoken to Andrew Nyri a number of times over the last 5 months, but now getting any kind of response (to email or phone call) is impossible.

I was made redundant on Friday so this is no longer just a minor money issue to me.

Does anyone know Andrew Nyri's address, phone numbers, email addresses? Its time to try an alternative approach.

I have had debt collectors knocking on my door, if anyone else has had a problem with them please contact me as we can all group up together against them and get our money back. My close family memeber is a solicitor and advised that it would be cheaper and better to fight the cause together. I had to pay £7500 today to HMRC to get the debt collectors away from my house.

I tried ringing Andy Niery 50 times, he rang me back a few times saying he would ring HMRC and he has not. Also he says he is going abroad as he has health issues, which I totally don't belive.

My email address is [EMAIL="taj_singh@yahoo.com"]taj_singh@yahoo.com[/EMAIL] lets fight these people to get our money back.

In response to moneylost: There are private investigation type firms that do computer based searches that can get info for you like that pretty quickly and prob reasonably priced in comparison to the amount you are probably chasing him for. I know somebody that works for one called pheonix intelligent solutions or something like that. I am sure if you google them you could maybe get a quote for a search for you.
