In this climate I would advise that no-one accept any comments from anyone (including all on an anonymous forum) at face-value. If the facts you discover matches the words used, then you could accept them.

Interestingly when DOR were asked as about their relationship with trustees. Infinity, iq their response was . As “we are instructed by the trustees to handle communications with trust debtors about the loans. We do not have any relationship with the scheme organisers either for IQ or Infinity.”

Originally posted by swing84 View PostIn a shocking turn of events it emerges that the 31st July deadline imposed by our friend Andrew Thompson was in fact not a deadline at all
He's written to remind me that interest is now accruing and that I should setup the standing order, or utilise one of the options to repay the loan. He also wishes to point out that he 'has instructed' DOR Resolutions to 'collect the interest' which sounds a bit bailiff-y.
I am taking legal advice (not from someone active in these forums) so will await further opinion.

Originally posted by matteire View PostHi, the letter you received from Infinity, did they instruct you to pay a standing order monthly through DOR?

Originally posted by matteire View Posthow do I become a member of BG?
BG was formed to find a negotiated settlement. We could not do that. We are now gearing for litigation and expect to be in Tribunal later this year.
Therefore you need to be in a position to benefit from the argument we are taking.
In other words:
1. you do not wish to settle
2. you have years under enquiry and/or are facing the loan charge
3. you understand the risks of litigation
4. you understand that there will be a cost (to join and contribute to fees)
Part of our activity is to push for loan write off/forgiveness and to deal with some of the interference being put up by promoters and their advisers.
That is strictly outside BG but is a service we offer, to date for no additional cost unless it requires expert legal or insolvency advice.
So think "why"?
Then "how" is search WTT Big Group.

Any BG members reading this, please see the resources section of the forum.
Any non members you will need to get advance and get organised.
This is mainly a legal matter although it does have some tax implications. As such a knowledgeable law firm is what you need.
Do not:
1. Assume that because HMRC is claiming that the money is "income" it cannot be a loan
2. Assume that a Court would find that this is not a loan
3. Rely on the bloke down the pub or anonymous posters here, being correct
I suggest that you start by asking whomever wrote to you to:
a. explain who/what they are
b. prove that they have requisite authority by showing you copies of agreements
c. show you a signed - by all parties -copy of any agreement that establishes obligation
Once you have more and better information you can decide what to do.
