Tax credit blunder Please help!!!

I take it all back, HRMC always ask for bank details by email.

You're obviously so bright that they'll pay you twice, I suggest you send your bank details straight away.

Hi Laurence.

I don't think Dan's comments were sarcastic at all. It depends, of course, on how you choose to read it (I'm ignoring the mis-used 'of'). You seem to have read it as an accusation:

"You know, you could of asked for a copy of the recording of that 40 minute call, to see what was said? (....but you didn't, you idiot)"


Whereas I read it as:

"(Did...) You know you could of asked for a copy of the recording of that 40 minute call, to see what was said? (...that might help you sort it out)."


And given the friendly and helpful tone of the rest of Dan's post I'm surprised you decided to choose to see it as negative and leap down his throat in response without checking what he meant! Dan wasn't to know that any comments about HMRC phone calls were - in your words - like a red rag to a bull; he's not psychic!

I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with HMRC; I've had problems this year with them, so I sympathise. But don't get angry at people who are genuinely trying to offer help. When I scan posts I don't always pick up on every detail and admit I didn't note that your issue was from six years ago at first. Angry responses to helpful posts mean that those posters are much less likely to want to help you or others in the future, which seems a shame.

It was over 6 years ago do you think they will still have the non existant to them recording? I don't think so. Someone at one time admitted to me that not all calls were recorded because of technical dificulties, and that call wasn't recorded.

I wasn't always like this. It was after 3 years of hell with the tax office that I became so cynical. You would become cynical too after they threatened to take your home away. And that phone call doesn't exist either.

Phone calls and the tax office or whatever they call themselves now are like a red rag to a bull with me and when some one comes on here and says six years after the event did you not think to consider that they could not produce the phone call because they had no recording of it?

I also like it when someone makes a sarcastic remark in a post and it is lost on the majority of people.

I wonder if anyone will figure out what my sarcastic remark was?

isn't that right ady_j

Dans a kid who has read the rules but he hasnt had to use them, we have all been invincible kids who believe all that we read.

Oh how patronising! Now im a little kid who has no idea about how things 'really' work! Im not at all blind to the fact that HMRC get things wrong and make mistakes - especially when Tax Credits first started! I wasn't getting into a discussion about that or whether call was actually recorded or not! I was just offering a suggestion as he doesnt mention at all in the post that he had actually requested a copy of the call, was just offering abit of advice (thought that was the whole point of this thread yeh?) Now instead of being so rude he could of just written back that he had already considered this but thanks for the advice, but no! All I got back was another rant! You have no idea about me or who I am so dont as ignorant to make assumptions about me, you actually couldnt be further from the truth! I know the rules like the back on my hand and have had to use them more times than I care to mention, but thats nothing to do with this thread is it?!
