Me too
Me too
Same thing happened to me. That's what worries me. MP are aggressive in their attempts to extract money from people, even when none is owed. If they thought I owed them money, they could have asked for it instead of sending a debt collector to my door.
MontP letter
MontP letter
Not so. I told DB a while back that I had completed a full and final settlement with HMRC and that I didn't require MontP to do anything else on my behalf.
Now I've received the letter which implies that the issue is still ongoing. I suspect they're planning...
Montpelier Fee
Montpelier Fee
Who said I was having a pop? I value your advice, I'm just trying to deal with (to me) a difficult, confusing and stressful situation, in which I have to make a decision (never been my greatest strength).
I'm trying to explore the pros and cons of any...
Montpelier fee
Montpelier fee
That's all very well BP but Montpelier are very aggressive about collecting money that they deem to be owed to them. Here's a brief history of some of my dealings with them:
When I was in their scheme, one month they paid me £10K too much (their admin was...
Exactly. They mentioned the fee after doing the work. If they'd told me in advance that they'd be charging for it, I'd have said 'forget it' and paid HMRC there and then. Their representations were embarrassingly pathetic anyway.
I guess the fee relates to the number of years. I had four...
Montpelier Fee
Montpelier Fee
Montpelier have sent me a bill for looking at my FNs and APNs and drafting a reply. They never mentioned in advance that there would be a fee for that work. Anyone else had the same? How did you respond?
Surcharges
Surcharges
I rang the person at HMRC who signed the latest letter to me. She said their system sometimes applies surcharges erroneously. She said she'd keep an eye on my account and make sure they were removed if they turned out to have been applied in error after I paid. I...
Surcharges
Surcharges
I sent in my CTD with appropriate instructions 2 weeks ago. Haven't heard back from the CTD team yet but I've received surcharge notices in the post, one for each year that I was in the scheme. Has anyone managed to get surcharges cancelled? If so, how?
CTD
CTD
Thanks for the update. Even though I bought the CTD 8 years ago, it looks like I didn't put enough in to cover the exorbitant interest rate so I'm going to have to fork out some more money. And there's me thinking I was going to get a bit back :frown
Did you find out if they'd taken your CTD into account? They just asked me for an amount which is much higher than I expected, so I'm wondering the same i.e. have they not taken account of the CTD that I bought 8 years ago, which was for the base amount + about 25%. I told them about the CTD...
Montp
Montp
I was hoping you were going to tell me of some advantage in not telling them that I hadn't thought of.
I suppose I just thought it would be nice to no longer receive the occasional letter with an IOM postmark telling me of their latest machiavellian legal move, which would be of...
Rejected representations
Rejected representations
Same here. I'm assuming it's the end, though I'm sure Montp won't admit it.
What now:
1 Copy the letter to Montp for them to come up with a reply
or
2 Just pay up
I'm relatively fortunate in that I have a CTD which I think should...
STAR
I got a STAR letter too. It talks about making a disclosure on from STAR4, but no such form is enclosed. I can't make head nor tail of the letter. I rang the number on the letter and asked a few questions. They got a STAR specialist to ring me back. If my understanding is correct I...
Email address
Email address
The email address that I gave to Laxmi wasn't what he wanted, so he's still looking for the email address to send FNs to.
Anyone?
