Hello.

Yes its headed HM Revenue and Customs.

Debt Management Field Force.

I wasn't in when the letter was delivered. It was given to my SO.

We are currently living apart at the minute.

It doesn't actually say the word bailiffs,

i just assumed the person who knocked was a bailiff.

It says "Warning of enforcement action" "

I called today to collect payment of the above amount or to determine your assets for sale at auction.

I was unable to contact you.

You need to pay in full immediately by phoning 0300 *** ****.

If you do not pay the full amount you owe, i will visit again.

If i then take Taking of Goods enforcement action to collect your debt,

i will have to charge you an initial fee of £75 (Fee 1).

Pay late and you pay more.

We are charging you interest every day you do not pay."

Thanks for the reply.

Sole trader. I work in someone else's premises and their customers houses. I work in IT.

Do i need to work anything out before i ring them? incoming/outgoings etc?

I apologize if this is in the wrong section. If it it is, could a mod kindly move it for me. Thanks

I will try to avoid a wall of text and a sob story,

and get right to the nuts and bolts of it all as i need help with my next steps

I am self employed and have been for around 5 years.

The first 2 years of this, i had no idea what i was doing,

so like an idiot, i pretty much ignored everything paper work wise/accounts wise/money wise.

I have been working for the same company for the 5 years as a sub contractor.

After the first year i spoke to an accountant who registered me as self employed etc.

This is where the problem starts,

i got letters to say that my accounts were late and that i would get £100 penalty.

I put it off and put it off being the idiot i am until the point where the numbers didn't really mean anything

other than just numbers.

The last 3 years, i've had a different accountant work everything out and submit everything on time.

Here's the second problem...I haven't paid anything.

As it stands i owe around 7-8k in tax and about 7k in fines

I've had a letter, hand delivered from HMRC that says

"Warning of enforcement action"

Type of tax:SA

Amount you owe £149**.**

It gives me a number i can ring, which i intend to do,

i just need some advice on what to do next with regards to the letter and what i can expect to happen.

I don't own a house,

i don't have any savings.

If i was to liquidate everything i own, it would come to around £6k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you need any more info from me, fire away

Thanks

Hello people

I'm new to the site, and can do with some help.

I bought an LG LCD TV from Comet around 16 months ago. In a nutshell, around 3 months ago, I came home to find something very wrong with the screen. After the usual things (on/off, factory reset) it was apparent that the TV was broke. No worries I thought, its still under warranty...Ohhhhh dear. The TV was 13 months old (only a years warranty)

I rung LG and told them the problem, and as I thought, they said there warranty has expired, so I left it.

I rung a few local repair companies, and they said the problem sounds like the screen needs replacing (around £400)

There is no way I am paying that.

If the TV was 4 years old, I would have thrown it in the bin. If I had paid £200, I would have thrown it in the bin.

I paid £750 for it and it lasted 13 months...its been bugging me every day and was just wondering if there was anything I can do as Comet are now gone. I did mention the SOGA but the LG guy said that was between me and Comet (which makes sense). I did hear of another law about faulty goods going wrong under 2 years. Could I use this?

Basically I'm asking what my next step should be...Write a letter to someone, or just thrown it away?

Thanks for reading

Steve
