contact the company, if they have received any money and did no work they should send you the payment over. then ask them to make sure no deed of assignment is in place for future years. If you do not want them to act on your behalf make sure they are removed as your registered agent.

HMRC are closing the self assessment portal in 2026 so you will have to use 3rd party software to submit, This is to prevent fraudulent claims. There is a app called xxxxxxx which i have just downloaded and its very easy to use and stores everything for your self assessment, i would highly recommend, i found it much easier and more advanced than quick books.

It is not thar simple.

A deed os assignement is a lasting authority and you need the agreement of the company to rescind it.

It  there is a deed assigment in place that authorises HMRC to pay ALL repayment sto theat company. regardless of whether they do work on the claim or not.

However, since the OP has not logged on since June I doubt he will read this.

New user resurrecting old posts and highly recommending a tax app which doesn't seem to have cropped up here before ......... mmmmmm

The same thing has happened to me. I cannot get in touch with anybody to discuss it with. This company, "making tax claims simple" are obviously scamming people and seem to be getting away with it. I am devastated as that money is needed.

Their only other post, which I won’t link, makes the same recommendation on the same day!
