  • Still pending and they're not responding to my email messages either.
    We got told the 12th judging by everyone's updates that won't be happening either

    JUST HAD THIS REPLY .......Thank you for your online enquiry. I am sorry for the delay for the repayment. We are carrying out routine security checks on your repayment which have not yet been completed. Please allow six weeks for the security checks to be completed, once the checks have been completed your repayment will be issued. Regards eContact Team https://www.hmrc.gov.uk Original Message

    Nobody can tell you an accurate date for when the repayment will be issued.

    the people you speak to have nothing to do with timing of these checks.

    The records will be queueing on the computer and will allocated automatically to the operators to check them. They will have no control or any information as to when an individual repayment is dealt with.

    All the telephone operator can surmise is that some repayments will be issued on that date and yours may or may not be among them.

    It's ok 😊 it's taking so much longer this year it's a joke!!
  • Rang again yesterday as stl pending and again today still pending.

    Spoke to compliance again because the call centre referred us back to them.
    He basically said that orginally they put the signal on the refund because of last year and have requested it to come off now and once the system updates the payment will be issued. He the signal to come off could take weeks there is no deadline.
    Said call back next week if isn't in. Obviously going to be ringing again next week.
