Not quite, my comment was based on if you think they are expensive you should see what the other options cost.

"About the only source of advice around that isn't going to be out to make more money off you"
"They need to cover costs"Comment

BG seem better than the other loan scheme groups I know of.
Some advisors are definitely more of the ambulance chaser/shark variety than others.
The big tax advisory firms charge £300/man hour. Leading tax barristers can command up to £1000/hour. This sort of representation is out of reach of most ordinary folk, so the only affordable option is to join a group.Comment

I hope you have learnt an important lesson here and that is to base your statements on data points.
If you cannot back them up certainly dont advise people especially on the items of financials.
I agree with Dylan on this matter.
Whilst no-one would question BGs strategy of helping folk or your good intentions of bringing folk on board who are in dire need of great advice, unless you have all the details on their financial position and can produce that then you should steer away from talking them up in this regard.
Not having a go at you just advising that talking financials is best left with Webberg if he felt the need that it was warranted.

Now if you can recommend and provide costs for someone who can help people with HMRC go ahead and do so. As DR states above other specialists are £300+ an hour and they don't really want to deal with these cases (another data point).
And the best advice is to find other people in the same position as you and see what they are doing. Any idea where those people are likely to be outside of Big Group?
Oh and if you think having a go at me is going to get you anywhere don't bet on it. But it's interesting to note that while two posters on here dislike my comments regarding BG they haven't come up with and recommended other names, numbers and prices.Last edited by eek; 22 September 2016, 00:00.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

And since this thread has strayed from its point I'm closing it.
To the original poster, if you come back please start another thread."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
