I I filled a R40 form in and sent it to HMR&C I have received a letter today stating I have paid to much tax, I got a cheque for £38.31 Which I’m very grateful, however in the same envelope there was another letter stating I had paid to much tax and a cheque will be sent to a Company FCR limited which I don’t know of this company? I have looked on Company house and I cannot recognise any such company
please can you advice

You fell for a scam where you thought you were on the hmrc website but were in fact on this companies.
Probably nothing you can do, next time be more careful.

Care is needed more and more wherever the mail purports to come from. Sorry for your experience.
