  • Forgot to mention, we're in dire need of some new dining room chairs as the seats on ours have gone. They're old ikea ones and are at least 15 years old, anyway last Saturday DH wanted to look at some new ones, so we popped off to ikea for a look and instead got 6 seat covers for £30 and the chairs look great :money:

    Hope it is an error as that seems like a very unfair way of doing it!

    So do I, I knew I owed them about £450 due to changing jobs but that should've been finished by now and now they say I owe them more.

    I hope you get your tax sorted soon. Are they not there at the weekend to phone?

  • It's so frustrating when they just take the money off you and think you can survive. I'm surprised we still have a roof over our heads after they stopped all the tax credits due to their mistake of overpaying us...

    Hooray for the seat covers!

  • Rang HMRC on the off chance and for some reason they think I earn £145k per year:eek::eek: explained to the lady that I wish I did. It seems there's some kind of mix up when my company switched payroll systems, I ended up with a new number so HMRC think I'm employed twice by the same company.

    Their figures are still wrong. They've adjusted it but they can't process it and as such it needs to go to their quality team? Who will then send out a new coding notice **rolls eyes** so for the time being she's put me on a basic rate. Still means I'll be taxed and I'll lose £400 not the £200 I first thought :mad:
  • Shopping done and put away, just need a top up next week.

    Going to hang the washing out and have a cuppa.

    £142k??? You'd better do a new SOA :rotfl:

    After a tax credit balls up years back where I had to request recordings to evidence they'd given me duff advice, I have a pathological hatred of HMRC

    :rotfl::rotfl: wish I did earn that amount. Would solve a lot of problems :)

    When we were eligible for tax credits, we only entitled to £15 back then we still didn't claim as a lot of people were having trouble and having to pay it back.

    I too hate anything to do with tax, I'm still paying back an overpayment of tax credits even though I updated them every time there was a change. When I phoned up they asked how much I could afford each month, I said £10! It finishes January 2018 so not long to go, I'll never claim again.

    Hope it's sorted soon and any money they take off you is repaid quickly.
