[Diagnose b4 u prescribe]

For the avoidance of doubt, I am merely a guest so do not have the power to close this thread. My "fighting back" was because I'd already declared my loans and actively engaged HMRC back in 2015-16. I also paid an APN in 2017. When the LC standard letters started arriving later that year,...
