Upton Accountants - more info

You haven't sent any money to that account have you? If you have I would recommend checking if HMRC have received the payment.

Just make sure it matches the HMRC details: HM Revenue & Customs: How to pay Self Assessment

As far as I'm aware this was to change the account for monthly payments (standing orders), not for other payments, atleast for Darren’s sake.

That didn’t prevent it TBH, there are sadly HMRC procedural loopholes.

I had an email conversation with him a couple of weeks ago and there was no inclination that this was the case.

Have you communicated since the end of June though?

I sent an email to Darren today, got the following out of office reply (spelling mistakes included)..

Please note I am not available. Please telephone reception who will be able to direct your call to the most appropriate member of staf. Many thanks.

Kind Regards

That's it, no footer, no sign off, just the above.

Unless I'm very mistaken I think the problem is that the entire issue hasn't reached court yet. Once he is found innocent or guilty and he is sentenced then we will be able to discuss it until then we can't.

Thank you eek, that's exactly why. Provided things stay away from the law I allow the thread.

When they stray, I lock it.

I think it's pretty clear what's gone on, at least at a staffing level, the back story can probably be pieced together from here and elsewhere.

It would be nice to get a statement of sorts from Upton & Co, you can't exist as an accountancy firm if there is no trust there.

I didn't get a pm from the OP, did anyone else?

I did but I sent them one first. As I understand it, the details of what’s transpired cannot be shared on a public forum. However, anyone involved can discuss it privately since there is little fear of additional bias, ie. Those involved are very likely already biased against said company.

Me too, and I guess a couple of others from some of the discussions. However it is legal info so any mention of it on here would result in the thread locking

I did telephone their office and asked the person to repeat the Upton business account number, this did match the account number Darren had sent. She also confirmed that there had been a change of business account number... this is just for the monthly accountancy fee.
