Morning my friends.
What is the best way to hide (not sure if that's the correct term) your savings from a government body so they cannot debit your account for example if they believe you owe them money..... when you dispute it.
Trying to rack my brain and struggling so after some ideas.
Thanks.

What are you trying to hide?
From whom?
What do they believe you owe, and why?
I have never heard of any government body which arbitrarily accesses your bank account and removes funds from it.0 -
Judging by his other posts, OP seems to have some concerns about child support payments (which he says are up to date) and that more money might be taken from him if he has additional income or savings. So he isn't really trying to hide the money from government bodies but from his child.

In the UK anyway. I think effectively that's what happened in Cyprus.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
