It's a joke isn't it? Haven't had a reply from my message either. hopefully shouldn't be too long now.0

Its totally unacceptable to be waiting this long. I will be writing a complaint, hope everyone else on here does too, then maybe they will get a better system in place because it's a totally joke, it would have taken less time if they actually called me and went through security or even asked me to produce ID at local tax office. Even a phone call to explain what is going on wouldn't hurt
I really hope yours all change ASAP the wait is so frustrating.0 -
Yes I think I will be writing a letter of complaint as I don't see how it could take this long. They wouldn't wait if we owed them.0

why not ring them and ask why its taking so long? As for a proper explaination? I know some refunds get stopped for extra checking0 -

I did, and they fob you off with security check spiel give you a date it will be done by. When you ask them to explain they tell you they can't. I would happily wait if they actually explained to me the situation, they send it off for security checks but they can't contact the security department0 -
This is the 1st time I'd completed an online return ....So after completing my tax return, I read this thread avidly to see how long it would take to receive payment. I can't believe how long some have had to wait, which makes me feel bad how quickly I received my payment.
