    Despite what you might think, this was never intended to convey a defeatist attitude or view. It was merely my two-cents worth of input to the stark reality of what everyone affected by this opportunistic manipulation of law is facing. The advice and guidance from posters on on this forum (with...

    Well said superbean - loudly seconded and couldn't agree more.

    2019 Loan Charge Petition Parliament

    Gosh. That's a surprise and a half.

    Aw, thanks for that. And we all know the law is an ass. And not just in this case. And of course, they never get it wrong.

    AML 2019 Loan Charge

    As others long before me here have said, you are definitely not alone. I asked exactly the same questions and was given all the same guarantees and assurances by these providers. The whole debacle is daunting and unsettling - and I have no doubt that it has been a life-changing moment for many...

    2019 Loan Charge Petition Parliament

    Fair comment NAT - I consider myself warned. It's a shame some people feel such a judgmental compulsion to condemn those who might have made mistakes or accepted (poor) advice. Not much forgiveness on here from those who have all obviously made such perfect life choices. Hey ho.

    2019 Loan Charge Petition Parliament

    Wonder why ? Well, there seem to be thousands of us out there. Thanks for the sanctimonious howl of disapproval. Always welcome.

    2019 Loan Charge Petition Parliament

    Not interested in sympathy. Just the process of law not being distorted and manoeuvred to suit governments with large debts.

    2019 Loan Charge Petition Parliament

    Didn't expect to see schadenfreude rear its' ugly head on this particular subject. Trust (excuse the pun) it doesn't come back to bite one day.

    Want to know how to fight this?

    Seconded. And thirded. My £1000 would be on the table in a jiffy.

    I'm sure we all wouldn't mind being in a position where we've not made anything clear, yet can still demand a Hobbesian form of punishment for those people we failed by our own inertia and disinterest in the peddlers. Oh, and the full force of whatever law we feel like introducing to support our...

    ...couldn't agree more. Still doesn't make it right though. Just like everything else that governments do as a self-serving enterprise. Maybe they can all give themselves a nice bonus on the back of it. Job well done and all that.

    AML 2019 Loan Charge

    ...and, strangely enough, one of the current batch of PTS advisors 'helping' everyone try to resolve their liability was a New Business Executive at PCL during 2015. Just one big happy family, doing their level best during our crisis. Aren't we fortunate ?

    It's no easy task for anyone to come up with a meaningful analogy for something as unprecedented and unexpected as this Finance Bill and the subsequent pain (both financial and emotional) that it's causing those affected. I tend to think that when governments (of any hue) decide on a course of...

    AML 2019 Loan Charge

    Thanks so much Phil - it's been a godsend over the last few days and it's supremely comforting to know there is a community on here that willingly shares the kind of information we all need. I'm going to spend tonight and the whole weekend trying to trawl through all these threads and compiling...
