    Told HMRC I am unable to pay

    I have APNs for teh 3 years that I used Sanzar, I've been going back and fourth with HMRC ind its got to the stage where I have said that I am unable to pay the amounts they are asking for.

    I had a call from their debt management team who went through my income and expenditure with me and now they have said that they will send a field force agent to see me.

    What should I do, what should I expect, does anyone else have experience with this? are they going to take my car/dog/vital organs?

    They are bullying. Stop dealing with them.

    The chance of HMRC getting a bankruptcy order against someone for an APN are zero.

        Haven't some folk had visits from private collection firms, having had the case passed to them by Hector? If I've remembered that correctly, does anybody know which circumstances lead to it?

          HMRC can only petition for bankruptcy, a judge has to grant the order

          I'd have to agree that particularly in light of the 2,000 APN's withdrawn from MontP clients, you'd have to look hard to find a judge that will grant a bankruptcy order against an APN alone. Stand firm!!

              I'm in same position. I just agreed 12 months payment plan which I cant afford.
              So after 5 months Ill be saying all my money gone now so what do you want to do?
              I see it as if I dont agree now then 5% penaltly, but I will be expecting a 5% penalty on remaining amount oustanding after 5 months.
              Also it gives me a bit more time to compose, appeal their invalid discoveries.

              You never know APNs may be withdrawn with that time, as already in another case.

                Treat them like bailiffs. Do not let them in. Tell them you are finding their attention stressful.

                You make think about visiting your doctor to complain about the stress from harassment.....

                  APNs are not getting withdrawn on their own any time soon. Take proper advice on how to handle this. I could have helped but I don't have that knowledge.

                    Excellent advice...get stress on the medical records, you may find that useful if it goes to court etc.

                    In fact open question to anyone, will medical profession write letters to HMRC informing them of the stress being caused?
