    Which updates are those? Official updates are sent about once every 3 months.

      well in that case BolshieBastard has a very good point...because my impression is that those '3 monthly updates' only go to those people still with MP...

      what about those people (like me) who left them 5 years ago...we dont receive ANY updates at all...we're left in the dark...and yet we're the very people who need to be updated the most...cos I was with them from the start (for 3 years) there is (potentially) a huge amount of interest that has built up...

      dont MP realise, we need to be kept in the loop as well?...

          They have always had my address but I've never received any updates. That's why we end up coming here for scraps of info.

            I get updates evey 3 months - but it is not enough! I would like an monthly update on the website. I also want a form so we can submit questions - they could then be answered once a month too!

            I can't see it happening somehow!

              Brillo - yes they've got my address...its ALWAYS been the same...I do get the odd letter from them about once a year...but not the 3 monthly updates...

              I just think Ive been dropped off the distribution list because I'm no longer contributing to MP's bottom line...

              I dont need/want an update very month...only when something important happens...BN66 being voted in definitely warranted an immediate response from MP to its clients (old and current)...there was no excuse not to...

                I reckon I have had an update twice in last year - about 4/5 since I joined scheme 2.5 years ago?

                So you may well have had same updates as me.

                I believe mp are planning a letter when the judicial review to bn66 starts - or when the accounts go in (end JUly).

                Personally I want more info - if it is there you don't have to read it!

                  Every 3 months! You're having a laugh surely?

                  Yes, they have my address ok. Sent me a demand for the final year of the scheme for repayment of the loan since HMRC 'were not investigating the tax return'!

                  Anyone else had to make a repayment of the loan to MP?

                  I've had to repay that loan even though I told them HMRC were clearly investigating ALL my returns. I asked them do you want me to contact HMRC and get confirmation they're investigating it? 'Erm, no but you still have to repay the loan'!

                  Bunch of crooks and I dont mean HMRC (although they are too!)
                  I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

                    1000th post ... and I have never been able to work out what this thread is about.
                    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

                      Presumably by loan you mean the 4%? Since April 2008 the montpelier thing has turned into a loan scheme.

                      And did you pay?
