Hi DR - I'm more than happy to send a follow up letter, but I haven't yet had a response to my original letter yet.
I sent mine to Ed Davey - I know there is someone else on this forum that sent a letter to him as well . . .have you had a response yet - whoever you are? I think it is 'Kiwiguy' or 'Kiwiinlondon'? Something to do with 'Kiwi' anyway. . .let me know if you can. Thanks.Comment

Public finances
From some time back.........

I thought the paragraph on page 17 was very telling.
It is important to understand that the Enforcement Office does not behave like most commercial creditors. In particular, it often petitions for bankruptcy even where it is clear that this will not benefit HM Revenue and Customs because the taxpayer has no assets. Indeed, sometimes the bankruptcy costs the government money, because the bankrupt loses their home and/or job and is forced to rely upon social housing and/or welfare benefits.
Is the current state of affairs not a drain on the public finances, nothing coming in yet but money going out for QC & court cases etc? Any benefit that the exchequer MAY get is likely to be some years away & after more expenditure. The way to help the public finances now would be for this to be dropped & to stop wasting more money by chasing this thing all the way to Europe!Comment

Spotlight turns on HMRC
Cumbria shootings: Derrick Bird feared jail term over tax evasion | UK news | guardian.co.uk
A Cumbria police spokesman confirmed this morning that detectives were looking at the killer's finances and involvement with HMRC, saying: "It is an ongoing line of inquiry but there is no comment on that at this present moment."
Whist I'm sure none of us would in any way want to excuse Bird's actions, if he was under investigation by HMRC we do know what that feels like.
Commenting on the financial hardship and marital problems some people affected by s.58 were facing, one of the HMRC senior officers who gave evidence at our Judicial Review completely dismissed this saying that people had brought it on themselves.
It is this sort of callous and heartless attitude which can drive people to do desperate things.Last edited by DonkeyRhubarb; 4 June 2010, 19:07.Comment

Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostIt is clear from the responses we are getting, that the Government firmly believes s.58 was wrong in principle.
The main stumbling block is this:
We are preparing a reply to this. There isn't much time to get this to Ministers, so we need to act quickly.
Is everyone up for sending a follow-up letter?
Is there any template available?I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostThe date of the emergency budget has been announced as Tuesday 22nd June, 5 weeks tomorrow.
I am not going to try and pretend that the prospects of getting s58 overturned are great but I hope you will all agree that we should do something.
A detailed letter has been prepared to send to Tory and Libdem MPs.
If your MP is Labour, fear not because it can be sent directly to the Chancellor himself.
Full instructions are included in the letter.
To receive a copy email me at [email protected]
Thank you!
DR.
Just got back from a well deserved vacation (without worrying about s58 I managed to relax and have a great time with the family for a few weeks that's priceless they can take my house but they can't take that away from me) ...now back to reality catching up on the great work that's been going on just copied off the letter and sent to Ms Jackie Doyle-Price MP.
Out of interest how many letters sent out to MP's to date ?MUTS likes it HotComment
