    Yes, got one too. It's of no interest to me as I don't contract any more, but it looks to me like Montpelier are offering general accountancy services.

      I'm no longer contracting either but, if I was, I would certainly consider it.

            This montpelier letter is very annoying. I am trying to keep away from CUK.

            The cheek of WG is unbelievable. What a ****. S58 has now been hanging over us for nearly 7 years. It has destroyed me and my family. Does he actually believe there is any chance that anyone here will actually use him? I think hes been spending too long in the Barbados sun at his holiday home - where he keeps all his money.

            He can carry on unaffected while he fights. The rest of us cannot. He has never put in a penny to NTRT. If he had an ounce of decency he would fund the maximum legal action now - in particular personally suing the HMRC big 5.

            I would not trust him to look after my cat. If anyone has any sense they will keep well clear until this s58 stuff is sorted out.

                  I can't remember their names - though Brannigan is one of them.

                  For those of you thinking of using Montpelier let me tell you a story.

                  I was in Equitable Life. When they got into trouble you had to pay an exit fee to leave. I was undecided. There was an article by Finance editor of Telegraph saying he had been a member and paid the fee to leave. He said that the hardest part about these decisions is admitting you have made a mistake.

                  When s58 came along I did not go into the loan scheme. I admitted I had made a mistake.

                  Anyone that considers using Montpelier now is seriously deluded. You are unable to face up to reality and admit you have made a mistake.

                  Though I would love to get the list of names of those who would consider this. I have some coastal property to sell you. Viewing at low tide only.....

                    Couldn't agree more.

                    A few people made A LOT of money out of us and you want to go back for more? They are only fighting the decision on S58 since they have a lot more of OUR money to take.

                      Strongly agree - and I would like to add that they don't just our money - they want other people's money too.

                      Nearly 7 years of fighting now. Montp really need to throw their full weight(of money) behind the NTRT legal campaign.

                      I have to admit I am green with envy at those who can afford to settle with HMRC. I am not in that position. For me its fight all the way - I have no choice.

                      I do hope that when my shrink gets involved HMRC ignore his advice. I remember when I was spoken to by the police about comments made on this forum. He was keen to point out that its just business - nothing personal. I pointed out how wrong he is. Its personal for HMRC and personal for me.

                      Put any of us in a corner and we will come out fighting like caged animals. It should surprise no-one that in 1989 Yugoslavia was a civilized country and 2 years later it was Dantes inferno.
