    Ditto - I've sent mine in too. I've also phoned by MP's constituency office to rebutt the claims in the HMRC letter; along the same lines as the Gauke letter received a month earlier. My MP is now awaiting a second response from Gauke. Gauke must be a busy man these days. I wonder when it will dawn on him that all this hassle really isn't worth it to save a few skins in HMRC?

      Great work did you get a one to one? if so at least he will be getting our side of the story without the spin.

        Expected Response

        Just received a letter in response to the toolkit. I initially wrote to my Tory MP and have seen him twice.

        Extract

        ' Thank you for your further recent email regarding thi issue of retrospective tax. I am a firm in the belief that this is now an issue that cannot be solved with the individual influence of one Member of Parliament making representations to the Minister, but a matter for a Court of Law'

        Disappointed but expected, I will be forwarding the whole letter to Whitehouse.

          How can it be a matter for a Court of Law. Been there and done that!

            He's missed the point - a court of law CANNOT deal with Parliament being misled. Have a look at document A005 and quote back the words from Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway Co v Wauchope (1842) .
            There's an elephant wondering around here...

              Sorry, but I have seen him twice, sent him all the relevant information, he's got the point, however he's not interested ! The response I received from the TC was more encouraging and that's who I will focus on, the MP can afford to lose one vote, he clearly doesn't care about me, my family or our predicament.

                ... and thats what he wants you to do, he is trying to fob you off, this isn't going to be easy but you have to be persistant and show him that you and your family are not going to go away, he will eventually be made to pay and shamed, by all means carry on with the TC avenue also, but please please don't give in to your MP.

                  Not going away, not giving up, will continue to fight on all fronts until the end.

                    Are we now Spam?

                    Just sent an email to my MP (again) but rather than getting the usual auto response I got nothing. I wonder if we are now on some MP's block list?
