    Agreed... When I read it I just thought it was an older person... Lots of people still call them HMRE.... No big deal

    As SueEllen notes, it depends on the individual to some degree. As a counterpoint, I've always found Abbey Tax to be absolutely top notch, the best of all advisers that I've used over the years (although I haven't used them for an investigation, only for detailed reviews). I can only imagine that it was quite stressful for the OP if there was a question about the advice being given. In these circumstances, it's probably worth escalating internally, as Abbey is an excellent company, at least in my experience.

    Using incorrect terminology on forums when talking about serious subjects automatically makes people think you are trolling at worse and not serious at best.

    I must admit I was gob smacked that HMRE caused such a fuss! You learn.

    Also the actions of your tax advisors didn't surprise me.

    Like with anyone who is paid to work that greatly impacts someone's life, some people go out of their way to do the best job they can - so if possible turn down work if they can't complete it properly - while others do a just about adequate job. This is why word of mouth recommendations carry so much weight though when you are paying for blanket coverage it's harder to say you don't want a particular individual by name.

    For the record Abbey Tax were appalling - we moved to them from 'insured' advisors and the advice, cost, attitude was unbelievable. Must point out that it was one person only. We did complain and refused to pay - lost our deposit only.
    That is not what I wanted to hear
