Only on MSE would you find someone who was sacked from his job, has 11K in savings, and still has supporters giving dodgy advice on loop holes and fraud!
I haven't given any advice, dodgy or otherwise, on fraud (that would be illegal.) You might call it advice about loopholes, I guess. Or you could say I'm informing him of his legal rights, so he doesn't get ripped off by the authorities. Isn't that what this forum's supposed to be about? If it was a loophole as to how to avoid Capital Gains Tax, would you be so annoyed by it? Why the difference?Is Steve the OP back in another guise?!
No, as my profile says I'm a newbie. So, who's the OP?
PS. Ah, Original Poster. No, I'm not him.0 -
