BIG GROUP

[1887wwfc]

I'm sorry you missed it.

It's available as a recording on the Big Group forum, along with a lot of papers backing it up.

We did send an email on each of the 4 previous Fridays and it was advertised here two/three times.

Perhaps you have set your email to put our material into spam?

Graham, I too am a WTT client currently waiting for settlement figures via CLSO2 and so not in Big Group and not in receipt of an invite. I wouldn't have been able to attend to be honest (with it being in London) but wondered if any of the material may have been useful or informative for those choosing settlement. If settlement via CLSO2 is way more than the figures presented to HMRC are there options to join Big Group?

Many thanks
(PS: Don't think I have any PM rights currently)

Slightly disappointed to have missed this, especially being a WTT client. I must have missed the email invitation...

I have exchanged messages with Dmac and hopefully he is now up to speed.

The seminar is aimed at those people who are not yet committed to settlement on HMRC terms and who therefore have an ability to take alternative routes.

Clearly Big Group is one such.

Equally clearly, some people prefer other routes to finding an answer. So long as all are aware of the pros and cons of the chosen option, that is fine.

The seminar tomorrow is aimed at educating those who are Big Group members.

We do have clients who are looking only at settlement for the moment. For the avoidance of doubt, they are more than welcome to attend (first session is 9:30am, second is 2pm) but should be aware that the "settlement" element will be a minor part.

We are expecting over 500 people over the two sessions and the Q&A promises to be a lively affair.

We will record the sessions and make it available later to those wishing to know more.

I agree - they will simply come and seize anything that you have as debt recovery.
Its awful - so sad we even have to consider this as a means to an end.

I highly recommend anyone fearing IVA / Bankruptcy go and speak to an expert (for free). You may well be surprised at what you hear. How it affects you in the long term depends totally on your own personal circumstances. Personally I have spoken to 4 different ones. Remember, you will get a varying services like in any business, so speak to a few. I did this over 6 months ago, so am already prepared for the bulk of it should it happen. Do not leave it until the last minute !!!

That is, I'm afraid, blatantly untrue.

It is this sort of comment that scares people into believing that HMRC are unaccountable bandits operating above the law and that your only choice is to roll over and do as they say.

Much as HMRC would like that, the truth is that they have to operate within the rules,

One of the objectives of Big Group is to inform and demystify the process and being blunt (and with respect), uninformed and alarmist posts like this are not what we do.

sad

I am no expert but going bankrupt is an extreme solution. You will likely lose all your assets and would be unable to work in certain industries. (finance...)
