Epic win

Remember seeing a photo on here a while back (not necessarily this thread) of a skydiver diving from extremely high altitude in the 1960s.

Just read about this:

I've had to move out to zone 6 temporarily, 3 fucking hours to get to work today and that includes taking a Hire Bike. I can't say i resent the tube workers though, if me striking did anything i would at the drop of a hat if i thought it was a valid reason.

Just got a phone call from HMRC, which caused me to shit bricks, obviously.

After a minute or so chatting, it transpired that they believe that my previous employer had been paying out to the Student Loans Company via PAYE, in addition to me paying out to them from my own pocket. The upshot of this mistake is that they owe me thirteen and a half thousand pounds, plus interest! The lady I spoke to is going to double check and get back to me tomorrow.

Now that counts as an epic win, from where I'm sitting.

Get in! Fucking awesome win!

The more I think about it, it must be rubbish. No way I could have missed that much cash over 5 years.

We'll see when they ring back.

Fuckin RESSY!

Nice little windfall with the nipper and all that....

You're right about the volume of money, it sems quite high. Also, the HMRC don't usually call people. That sounds a bit suspect. Be careful about anyone calling up offering big fat sums of money and then asking for personal information (bank account details), no matter who they say they are. For reference, HMRC still write cheques and you can still request one rather than give out your bank details.

That's a very good point. They did know the name of my previous employer, as well as my current one.

Having said that, they asked me for my NI number, which means they may have been able to look me up on some system or other.

I will be extremely careful.

Thanks for the sage advice TSK.

Did the fella on the blower have a Nigerian accent?

Seems genuine although they do seem to be sending letters.

When they first rang, I missed the call and got back to them on the number they left. A google of the number they left is encouraging:

Does Pisti have your numbers?

@Jimm: Nah, this was to do with Student Loans, not tax.
