    Things about to get very serious and much more real? / Felicitas Letters

    If Felicitas are calling back loans would a thread such as this not highlight to other Trust owners that they could do the same? If this gets any kind of backing and the result is that people who used them have to repay the loan then that will make the actual loan charge look like a walk in the...

    Loan Charge Reclaim

    It is on a 'No win no fee' basis, what have you to lose? Where is the scam in that? They must be pretty confident to offer such a scheme, is it only for Castlemaine clients or open to everyone as I will give it a go if it costs me nothing :-)

    Castlemaine's workaround for IR35 (Partnerships)

    It maybe a coincidence but I do think these might be different companies? Partnerships are fine are they not?

    Umbrella reclaim - is it legit?

    You can sign up for free so cannot be a scam and to my knowledge they only go back 6 years. Have a look at their website and it gives you all the information you need.

    UmbrellaReclaim - anyone used this?

    My understanding is that you can claim back a total of up to 6 years, 13.8% Employers NI and 0.5% Apprenticeship Levy. The options to make a claim are 1. Free Registration 2. £99 Registration 3. Monthly Payment Registration I guess if you are sceptical then the register free of any charge would...

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    Umbrella companies: Lawyers pursue unlawful deductions - Personnel Today I am feeling a little more confident about my £100 now and I do not remember them saying that it gets refunded if there is no case.....happy days!

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    I remember the first time I saw my wage slip and it showed the Employers NI being deducted and I questioned it but it was all too late and they said it has to be that way. It would be better to advertise roles with your take home after all deductions rather than gross.

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    Lucy, I have no idea who the brolly is as I do not need one nor did they provide me with the name of them. I have registered my claim and now wait to see what will happen, no doubt it will take ages as did my PPI stuff but time is on my side...lol

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    That does not matter to me as I no longer have to use one thankfully but I think the point may have been that they do not have history where the claim could go back the 6 years where I guess some of the better known ones have. Maybe, as I say I am not really bothered and simply taking a punt, if...

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    A good point you raised about money getting caught up and lost should brolly go bust, they did point this out to me and offered me an option to overcome that being an issue. No good for me now as the world of perm has taken hold but they do have a brolly they have partnered up with where...

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    I have been thinking about this one overnight and I get what you say, a very easy case to win but.....what IF they do it again? It's worth a gamble in my opinion so I will have a go and I am in no way endorsing this as I have no idea of what will happen but worth a crack. I will let you know...

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    Could it be they knew they had no defence or that they did not want to add court cost? Very odd they should roll over so easy.

    Claim Back Monies From Your Umbrella

    I wonder why it was not contested?
