You employed a company to do something for you and you would have a contract in place to pay them.
It doesnt matter that the HMRC paid you directly as you still owe the company. These companies are normally very efficient at making sure they have all the right clauses in the contract and they always take you to court if you dont pay. They nearly always win as well as the contracts are valid.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
I agree. Check your contract to see what you agreed to pay.0
