    Ye? What will HMRC do to help op?


    Nothing at all, but as the club concerned prefers cash payments and doesn't issue receipts, I wouldn't be surprised to find that they don't file any tax returns with HMRC and if this is the case, they may simply decide to drop the matter rather than being reported for possible tax evasion.

    Long shot I suppose.

    You have a rose-tinted view of debt collectors. ;)

    actually i have no view of debt collectors having never been involved with any.

    Neither have I. But I'm still aware that they are private companies who don't really care where their money comes from. If a client asks them to chase an alleged debt, they will - they won't seek to confirm the provenance of the debt.

    Edit: Ref post below - you can have the last word, I really can't be bothered.

    So are you saying i should be aware of how they operate? You seem to have singled me out for what i posted, hence if you read the first line of my reply it ended with a question mark meaning i was not sure if proof did or did not need to be provided 1st
