Update:
Since my last post a couple of months ago I have received two more "reminders" from Vivid - the last one yesterday!:devil
This company and its staff are unbelievably crass/stupid/whatever.....
I am now writing to the Director who appears to run the company - a Mr Charles Walker - to...
PS: to ANYONE at VIVID who is watching this thread - if someone (ANYONE!) could have saved me the hassle of dealing with, reporting and following up on it, and actually done something about it a few days after I registered and explained my "displeasure" at being asked to provide VAT-related info...
