hpuse - better get your act together and really sort out your 'steps to take ....' - ie post #1

Today is Jan 28 which means that between now and Friday there will be countless people getting their heads out of the sand and attempting to file their tax returns. Of course they will be banging their heads against a brick wall if they go to the real HMRC site and they haven't already applied for (and received) their codes to enable them to file online. Doubtlessly many others will find themselves visiting one of the 'scam sites' (not my phrase) and will blindly complete their returns on there.

So pull your finger out!

Think of all the poor souls you are letting down by not giving them a failsafe way of recouping their money!

To be fair, the OP of this thread is about what you should (not) do AFTER using one of these companies, not before.

Here are some stats for the tongue wagers

Posts in this thread : 377
No of posters : 45
No of senior contributors : 33 (fantastic, faber-blas-gas-tic money savers!)
posters advising to delete OP : 14 (i.e don't contact bank blah blah)
posters calling OP misleading : 5
posters defending 'legality' : 34

So statistically all you senior contributors can be proud of the bullying you have achieved in these forums...

And also, statistically, there is more evidence now what is said in this link this link and this link to be true.

Next time when you see "hpuse" in a thread, don't panic - I'm basically a nice guy.:rotfl:. Now chill. Feel free to abuse. And most importantly - Be yourself.

To be fair, I did say that he needed to help those who will be succumbing to the 'scam' sites over the next few days so that they can recoup their money.

Then again I might not have made myself clear in my previous post ..... pretty much like a lot of posts on this thread

To be fair, THAT would be the subject of a new thread.

So because posters don't agree with you, you class that as bullying?
