    Scores on the doors.

    I have several contractors being hit with this and two signing up for 90%+ schemes to enable them to pay it. Both have been active on these forums, both know the risk and both still entering a scheme because it is the only way they can keep going.

    Three others settling (one will lose his home and has already lost his family).
    One trying to go bankrupt (as a financial institution this means she should lose her job, but we're going to keep her in a new role).
    Two in BG.
    In addition to the above, I'm in BG as well - my exposure is small, but I just want to fight HMRC.

    HR has been talking to our suppliers and we think that we have 00s of contractors who have been using schemes. Up to 30 may now be permie with us.

    The one interesting point is that a lot of the above were in the same schemes - all dragged in by one Contractor - who f***ed off to Spain when the going got tough. He was on a commission and was economical with the truth when it came to describing the veracity of the claims made by the solutions. Mr McC****** - C****y.

    Using a scheme to solve a scheme is not advisable.

    BG members, whilst free to choose their own means of working, are very encouraged to leave all schemes alone and either go limited and/or talk to us about their situation.

    I will repeat here that for those not in BG, who are desperate and who just want to speak to somebody with no particular axe to grind, we will always do that free of charge.

    We do not do the hard sell.
