    Yesterday's Meltdown...

    Given the events of yesterday (no, not Spurs losing again - how funny was THAT!)....I think now would be the time to take out a CTD...I think it might be safer there than in an offset bank account, right now...

    DonkeyRhubarb - could you please post some links to the the relevant HMRC websites...cheers

          does anyone also have any links to anyone who will lend someone with no job security, a house that has dropped in value 30k in the last year, a mortgage which for now approximates the value of the house (but probably not much longer), no assets and a rapidly shrinking job market a very large sum of money to pay off a phoney tax bill.



          ok, insolvency practitioners then?

                These guys used to lend 125% of value, now owned by Govt! Should fit the bill nicely...

                    If you hold a joint offset account, does that mean your "savings" are protected up to £70K by the FSA ?

                    Comment


                      yes...the FSA protection is 35K...for joint accounts, you have 35k each...that is, 70k...

                      well, thats what it said in the Daily Mail this morning, so it must be true!
