Clearly you already have "another a/c" from which you made the transaction - are you happy that the other account will remain open or do you need to consider further account to ensure you continue to have banking facilities. You need to consider what has triggered the bank into Anti Money Laudering mode !

Hi Firelily, Major Law sound a bit scary but they have done nothing to my recollection in the past 10 years to take court action in any gym cases. If you get further demands, let us know what you each said to the gym for your cases, and what they have said to you both by letter.

Hi Dixon, I'm sure you'd have heard if there was any issue. The silence suggests to me that the extension was or will be granted. To confirm, try calling HMCTS if you can.

Hi Dixon, Contact HMCTS and seek confirmation that the FTT has accepted the Application to Extend and ask why you've heard nothing more about this.

Hi Schipoo, So this is from HMCTS to HMRC and copying you in. Are you aware of the post here on Rob Carr's thread - https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/447080-hmrc-seek-repayment-maxwell-and-ftr-ltd/?do=findComment&comment=5185966

Hi Miff, If you've been a member for 2 years, the gym has no right to renew the m/ship automatically and still demand 6 months notice. A High Court ruling back in 2011 against Ashbourne Mgt Services Ltd put an end to unfair gym agreements. Let us know how the gym replies ......

Hi S6, Take time to read the other Soccer 6 threads here. None of them have ended in any action being taken against the "responsible" person. Once you've done that, you should have an idea of how to reply to the League, in writing by letter or email, not phone. Do your research and let us know what you intend to do.

Hi Miffed, A contract or agreement that requires 6 months notice to cancel after you've already been attending for 2 years is easy to challenge but don't get involved in any arguments just now. Offer to pay the one month fee in lieu of notice and let us know how they respond. Is it the gym (owner) who is looking for 6 months fees, or the PT, or both ?

Hi Rob, Did you see what I posted 12 days back on the General thread - https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/439099-information-on-fast-tax-rebates-ltd-and-the-eis-scam/?do=findComment&comment=5184436

I know the FTR Scam is different but there are certainly similarities to the HMRC decision highlighted above. HMRC's site discusses the issues here - https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/raising-standards-in-tax-advice-protecting-customers-claiming-tax-repayments/raising-standards-in-tax-advice-protecting-customers-claiming-tax-repayments They've started a consultation process, now closed, which will publish in due course.

I read earlier that HMRC are repaying 60,000 taxpayers who made claims through Tax Credits Ltd https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/information-for-customers-of-tax-credits-ltd/information-for-customers-of-tax-credits-ltd-refunding-tax-reclaims This has been referred to by AccountingWEB, a forum for tax professionals - https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/tax/hmrc-policy/hmrc-to-reimburse-60000-tax-credits-ltd-clients?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AWUKPOTW051022&utm_content=AWUKPOTW051022+CID_5e051e8c26941a2907121630269eefce&utm_source=internal_cm&utm_term=HMRC to reimburse 60000 Tax Credits Ltd clients There's also comment from the LITRG.

Yes HB, I agree

As DX says, just ignore and don't worry about this at all. We've been doing this for years and know these threats are simply hot air !! They never follow through with the threatened action.

Hi Joe, Do it now if you want.

Hi Welsh, This is a standard Threat o Gram from Major Law which you should ignore. Please see my post above and give more info about how you cancelled, did you give any notice before leaving, DD mandate, etc.

Hi Welsh, Take time to read other threads here about Bannatyne, ARC and Major Law. You'll see that no court action has been taken - the threats from ARC or Major Law are not followed through, hence you should ignore them. You've told us very little about how you stopped using the gym. Did you tell the gym verbally or in writing that you wanted to cancel. Please also confirm that you've cancelled the DD mandate.

No Dixon, that's wrong. Normally any tax that you have to repay will attract interest from the date of HMRC's Determination assessments, ie last year. Planning ahead, at least make provision if you can to repay the tax rebate that you received from FTR. Any extra you can save on top can go towards the interest element. But also bear in mind that you could be required to repay the FULL amount that HMRC repaid to FTR, plus interest.

Hi Dixon - this is good news, that the strike Out Application by HMRC has failed. I'll look through the PDF's properly in due course but I note the Judge's timescale suggests this could be heard between April and August 2023 so no quick resolution !

Hi LJ, Ignore their threats and don't respond at all. Simple as that !

Hi LJ, As DX says, they will do everything they can to worry you but they'll do nothing that will seriously affect you. Don't worry about their threats but keep us posted on what you receive.

Hi Stevo and welcome to CAG Just ignore their demands for now as DX says, but please keep us posted about what happens next.

OK, your notes make sense but the outcome depends on what time you're given to voice your concerns. I'd mention that HMRC have repeatedly failed to address your concerns that they repaid tax for an EIS Company that simply didn't exist - totally negligent ! Great bit of video given by Mr Wilde (bald HMRC guy) admitting they failed to even check if an EIS Sceme even existed or was genuine and this was criticised by the MP. Well done to UncleB for finding this. Probably too late to fwd this to the FTT but no harm in trying. Good luck !

Looking ............

Hi KV, Please read other threads here to see advice given to other site users about gym m/ships. The gym has no right to demand sight of personal documents or personal information. DX is right - after you told the gym your financial circumstances had changed detrimentally, you had only to pay 1 more DD according to our reading of gym m/ship agreements. If that has been taken already, cancel the DD mandate immediately via your bank. You don't need the gym's agreement, authority or anything else - just confirm please that you've cancelled the m/ship DD. If you're in any doubt, ask us here

Hi Dixon, I assume you're ready for the video hearing on 10th August. Bear in mind HMRC are looking to convince the judge that the FTT has no jurisdiction because your appeal has no technical merit. They'll suggest the tax relief was claimed by you resulting in a tax refund when none was due - hence it must be repaid. I suggest you argue that HMRC's stance :- 1. Seeks to deny you the only chance you have to challenge their attempt to claim back from you all the tax refunded even though they repaid it to FTR who kept most of it. 2. Fails to answer important questions about their responsibility to use due diligence before making substantial tax refunds. 3. Suggests that you were aware of what FTR were doing when FTR were doing their best to keep you from finding out what was happening. Keep us posted .......
