MP response

This is the reply received by my partner from Stewart Hosie, MP for Dundee East in response to her reminder letter DR....

"Dear Xxxxxx
Recent Letter
I am in receipt of your letter dated 25 March 2009.
An administrative error with my office allowed your original correspondence to go unactioned. Please accept my apologies for this and subsequent late reply.
I am sorry to hear of your difficulties and will be more than happy to raise your situtation with HMRC and will be in touch once any reply is received.
However, if you could contact my office with your National Insurance number, it would help speed matters up.
Again I would take this opportunity to apologise for the delay"

Referring the matter to HMRC is a complete and utter waste of time. If anyone gets a response like this, then go back to your MP and tell them you want them to take it up with the Treasury, not HMRC.

John Redwood / Edward Davey

As these two MPs are our main supporters, we need to get them to lean on the Treasury for a response.

If anyone who wrote to them and has not had a response for over a month, please can you send them a quick email as a reminder.

You can do this here www.writetothem.com

Alternatively, drop me a line and I'll send you something.

Thanks
DR

HMRC head office being very unhelpful.

Or, being less diplomatic:

YouKnowWho is being a right arsey bastard.

Perhaps we are starting get to him with all our FOI requests and probing questions to the Treasury.

that head of HMRC guy on the tonight programme looked like a tramp, is he really the head of HMRC, just loved his 80's paisley tie!!

He looked like a bitter and twisted civil servant who begrduged anyone making a decent living, jeaslouy can be a dangerous and spiteful thing!!

Speaking of which, MrYouKnow (TM), will you get a move on with my Data Protection Act request please!

May I also suggest to anyone who hasnt done so, send a request under the Data Protection Act for all records, emails, correspondence that HMRC hold on you. They have to reply within 40 days.

That should keep them busy for a while

What got me was that he seemed to think that it was acceptable to ruin a mans business, his life, strip him of his dignity and pay him off with a paltry sum that he couldn't even cash in. I had to laugh when he talked about the emails and letters of thanks and gratitude they get from their 'customers'. Lol, maybe he should stop reading theirs and give ours some attention. He was either totally unaware or couldn't have cared less that his department runined peoples lives unfairly. I suspect it was the latter.

Would MTM not mail shot all 2000+ clients with the petition details ?
