    Finding an Extra COP8 anywhere??

    My tax advisor sent off asking for all the relevant information
    I knew i had COP8 for 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 and kept all my documentation and letters and enquiries about this and got nothing back.
    Now they provide a settlement figure and enclose a COP8 2006/2007 for me as well - why - I had never received this before, why enclose a copy of something...how did they know i didnt have that?
    Has anyone else received an extra COP8 in their settlement figures and calculations?
    Thank you
    Fred

    Is it a copy of old COP or a new one issued?

      New one they cannot issue. But old one they might give a copy and include in settlement.

        Its apparently a copy of one for 2006/2007 that is dated December 2008! But I never received it.

        Why not send me a copy of all COP8? Why just the one I had never received?

          I am in a similar situation, I received enquiries from Hector for 2006/7 and 2008/9, 2009/10 which at the respective times I responded to. During my recent discussions with them it seems that there was also one for 2007/8 issued that I never received. I asked them to confirm that this was correct and they sent me out a copy of what was meant to have been sent out at the time . They also confirmed that they had had no confirmation that I had received the enquiry.

          Not really sure what to do about it as it is their word against mine, I have asked on the fora before but did not receive any real answers, my current advisor is looking into it as I am not sure how I am meant to deal with things from Hector if they do not tell me.

            Would HMRC go so far as to fabricate letters they never actually sent?

            I wish I could say categorically no but nothing would surprise me anymore.

              I am in the same position. I knew I had 2007/8 and 2008/9. Now I have been told 2006/7.

              I have not been given a copy though.

              I have questioned it but no reply yet ..after a few months.

              Goodluck!

                Same here. I phoned the help line a while back to ask which years I was being investigated for and they mentioned a year is received nothing for.

                I asked for a copy of the COP8 and one automagically appeared after a few weeks. I know I never received the original - you're not going to ignore a letter like that!

                Going to be hard to prove otherwise though :-(
