Just throwing this one out there, and maybe I'm missing something in a previous comment, but that letter from Town and Country refers to "an agreement you had with Felicitas" ?
Maybe I'm being stupid here, but I'm not sure that anyone had an agreement with Felicitas did they ? They didn't provide any form of employment or scheme, so what agreement are they alleging you had ?

No chance. No point spinning theories like this as it spooks people for no reason. I have already spoken to HMRC but the person I spoke to had clue what I was talking about even though I called the right Contractor Loan helpline. I want them to start taking some ownership given there is a bunch of comedians out there claiming to be recovering debts for a Loan Charge. I will try them again tomorrow.
If you feel they're misrepresenting the nature of the alleged debt in a fraudulent way, you may like to make an official complaint (https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/how-complain, the firm's own complaints procedure is shown here https://www.nope-no-link.co.uk) and/or report them as a potential scam (https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/report-scam-us).Leave a comment:

There is at least a theoretical possibility that HMRC have raised an assessment on the original “employer”, and they are seeking to “recoup” this - whether that’s really the case is another matter entirely..Leave a comment:

I have spoken to WTT and have a call with them. I am likely to be instructing them to be honest but lets see how I get on with my call.Leave a comment:

How can they collect under the Loan Charge, that would be due to HMRC, if it was due? And how can they collect on behalf of Felicitas as they are purporting to have sold the alleged debt on to W28. I smell something fishy, and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldricks apple crumble. I didn't think it was possible, but this outfit looks like a shakier peg than Gladstones. The signatory of the letter still looks a little bit wet behind the ears. (7) Dan Bland | LinkedInLeave a comment:

So they said they would email me all their documentation but I refused to give them my email address so they said they would post it. I asked for it to be sent recorded so we both have proof of postage.
Below is the letter I received from them.
Also, why couldn't Felicitas do anything to enforce their supposed claims through Gladstones that they had to change over to using T&C?Last edited by hudson; 27 February 2023, 14:33.Leave a comment:

and remember that just accepting the money may have been enough to create the loan so you do need to tread very carefully here.
Ask for the SAR they have on you but remember not to sign any letter yourself in case they decide to “recreate the paperwork”.
I think we have more aces up our sleeve than they do if it went to court. I could be wrong though!Last edited by looperevil; 26 February 2023, 13:37.Leave a comment:
