HMRC asking me to repay from a rebate

sheramber

We HMRC have suspended collection  of the refunded amount  while under appeal, If your appeal in not successful interest will be applied from the  payment due date.
HMRC have not done anything wrong in  making the refund. Your dispute is with FTR.

OP was scammed. I am amazed anyone would give access to their Gateway account. Surprised they did not ask for access to his bank account so they could pay in the "refund"

Update: I've yet to hear back from FTR in relation to the SAR or LBA. I've not yet responded to HMRC as per my last reply quoting their email response.

Note: a different friend of mine claims that he has spoken to HMRC and ONLY has to pay back what he was given by FTR, which seems interesting....).

These are the same friends who recommended said company or using the same one. I would take with a pinch of salt of what their saying and concentrate on ensuring you get your affairs in order. It doesn't matter what others paid or didn't paid. HMRC investigates you and what happens to others has no baring on you.

It may be that HMRC pursued FTR for the money they kept. I am surprised though, and would ask the friend for copies of the correspondence.

I'm not acting on the information he's given me, I just thought it would be interesting to share.

He's actually one of the ones I referred after getting my payment, after I was originally referred by someone else.
