One year post SA I had a letter from the IR asking if I had any savings accounts I wanted to declare. I told them no, they sent another letter asking if I were sure. Turns out I had 3k in an account I hadnt declared and they knew about it.

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Is this a real business account or a pseudo company account? 6% seems a bit tasty for a reserve account or even a money market linked account.Originally posted by Sockpuppet View PostI just leave the fliper off. You think I actually have + £'s in my personal account.

Even if I did 20% of interest on £3k is more than I would get by paying off a £3k interest free overdraft.
First year I was at Uni I got a interest free overdraft from Natwest. Paid it into a nice earner ISA for a year. At end of the year took it out and paid it off. They didn't let me have one the year after for some reason.Comment
