    HMRC Heavy Mob?

    Originally posted by Jannos3791 View Post
    I got it in mid-March, it was a letter from the special investigations team. I didn't forward it to Montpelier as assumed more would get it and do the deed for me.

    Do you have a timeline as to when we'll be receiving said advice? I tried contacting Dawn Bull yesterday and left a message (not sure of Dawn is a pseudo for a mailbox?).
    Last month, one evening at 6.30pm I had a visit to my home from a chap dressed in Black Motorbike Leathers and a black beard. he told me he had come to collect back tax from y/e 2008. When I said my MP was dealing with it he couldn't get away quick enough. He gave me his card which had on it HMRC, his name, his mobile number. No address or office where he came from! Was I visited by the HMRC heavy mob? Are HMRC allowed to operate in this way? If I hadn't been there could he have forced his way into my home? Is this Great Britain or Russia we are living in?

      Debt Collection Visits YOUR RIGHTS

      It is considered unfair for a debt collector to visit a debtor’s place of work unless it is a business debt.

      It is acceptable for debt collectors to visit debtor’s homes if the debtor has agreed or requested a visit; debts are disputed or deadlocked, or the debtor has avoided contact. However, debtors must be forewarned of a visit and given time to seek advice or support before the visit. If a debt collector comes to your door and you request him/her to leave, they must do so.

        Not sure if this is a wind-up, but if not, how about posting the chap's details here.

          No wind up, I have his card and my MP is investigating. Would not put the details on here as HMRC monitor this forum and they could probably identify me.

            Have you contacted Montpelier?

            Something doesn't sound right.

                  Not with Montpelier. Was with another IOM company who now seem to be doing there best to become "nothing to do with us" and might as well operate from a Box No.

                    Tricky one. Who were the company if you don't mind me asking?

                    They should have appealed your closure notices so they would currently be suspended. If they haven't done that, I am not sure what the remedy would be.

                      Then its HMRC typical scare tactics, you did the right thing in telling them your MP is dealing with it.... tag along the forum for now we will try to help as much as we can.... if you know of others they are welcome too....
