    How about genuine stories from alias names, no pictures - you’d get a terrific response to loan charge 2019 - importantly it’s the further stories as the mail has a big circular and might flush out the NHS locum Workers - what scoop they would be for the mail.
    I’ve offered this idea previously, Georgia would have to confirm but I think they would prefer real name (In answer to above query - I’m unsure why as personally I don’t see what difference it makes but I guess that’s the editors choice)

      Want to wish you guys all the best with this and hope it gets the support it deserves.

      There are not enough people putting this in the public eye so the more press interest the better imo.

      Good luck and thank you.

        I would be quite happy to go public, I no longer work in the UK so no danger there. I will not go bankrupt, but there will be collateral damage. It is likely a young single mum with her two daughters will lose there family home of 10 years. Also as they are on benefits they are unlikely to be able to find another property to rent.

            I'll Help

            I hope you don't mind me posting on this group, but I've been told you might be able to help me.

            I'm researching EBTs, 2011 Finance Act and Loan Charge 2019. At the moment I'm looking to find a case study - someone who has been and will be affected by this legislation.

            I've had some very kind people email me over their stories and they've galvanized me to keep pushing for publication.

            The only problem is, I need someone who is willing to share their real name and be photographed for the newspaper.

            I understand people are worried about doing that as many of you work in the finance industry but this is the only way I can run something.

            We are the largest circulating Sunday newspaper in the UK and we would get great coverage of this issue. Often we have our stories picked up by other national newspapers so HMRC would really be put under pressure to answer your questions/demands.

            As I'm sure you all know too well, this is bankrupting people and causing many people to suffer from severe mental ill health. It needs to change and I hope I can write something to start that change.

            If anyone feels they could help me by sharing their story with their real name and a willingness to be pictured, I would be very grateful.

            Best wishes,
            Georgia
            This is my first post/reply on this board, but I would very much like to help as I have been hounded by HMRC for 5 straight years (both for Fleming Laing and APSE) and am willing to let you use my name and picture.
            Please let me know how I can help

            Patrick

                scrap that, no I haven't! It wont let me send you PMs. Presumably as your account isn't able to receive them? Mods, can you help?
