Instead of paying fees to Ambulance Chasers...

Yes, but what are the chances that all the fees you pay will actually achieve anything? Odds are you'll still end up having to pay HMRC the full whack. It could even cost you more.

By dragging the dispute out, you'll end up paying more interest.

Some advisors might even lead you into a fight over the LC, which could result in penalties for non-compliance.

I believe zero, which is why I had zero hesitation in refusing the 'fight' option.

Agree wholeheartedly! If you decide to take advice - do your research first. Learn from your mistakes and make sure the people you are paying to represent you, if you feel they are necessary - CAN. If they are telling you that there are no guarantees - walk away.

Isn't he also the key adviser to LCAG and the Loan Charge APPG? When this gets out wouldn't his harm their reputation and possibly hinder all the progress they have made to date?

For me this is what makes it so surprising. His online footprint has descended into calling Mel Stride names and grandstanding for the crowd. Pretty cringe.

Thousands of people are relying on both these groups for possible changes to the LC.

In fairness, I assume that for many people it's either this solution or bankruptcy and losing everything they have - maybe this will delay their bankruptcy.

Agree that the video is horrendous..

An example please? I'm confused.

Tax Advisers help you settle, if that's what you want to do. Or they'll help you fight, if that's what you want to do. They have definitely made a fortune, but that doesn't mean they don't work for it. Unless I'm missing something

Link?

Or at least which website?

Whack in Insella Tax and hit the link hosted in Cyprus.

It's quite simply unbelievable. The video on the website really is something else.

I think he's referring to Phil Manley's scheme to solve a scheme

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh

Yes.

In other unrelated news. I can also solve these schemes. My company only wants £900, and once succesful you get it back. It might work, it might not. Risk is on you. Western Union payments only.

Take the money, you would have paid them, and punt it on something highly speculative like Bitcoin or Gold miners.

Sure it's a gamble, but the odds are far better than pinning your hopes on these tax advisors.

A lot of what I see touted on this forum is just throwing good money after bad.
