Good morning guys. I called Jacobs and asked to set up a payment plan. They told me I have to pay the £189 in 4 monthly instalments, i told them i cant afford this right now, they told me to seek financial advice from CAB sigh.

Thanks Dave Dx many thanks for your reply. Spooking the judge is a great idea I hope i win this case, its such a waste of everyone's time but the stupid process must be followed. I have just been here a couple of months longer than you, i did not realise i joined in 2006, where has all the time gone

FTMDave - Its very impressive indeed how you have excelled in this department and you can give the advice and help the way you do. The team on CAG go beyond the call of duty to help others including myself and i will be forever grateful and appreciate all the help. I do donate occasionally when i can its good to support the site. I did see someone recently on the Stroud facebook page complaining about a parking charge and i posted a link to the site and mentioned the kind of help i got on here. I got over 15k of debts wiped thanks to the the amazing help from the team on CAG. So do i just turn up for the court hearing on the 17th Apr 3pm? Should i just follow the witness statement story?

jk2054 - many thanks for your very helpful reply. That saves me a journey then and thanks for clearing that up. Ill keep what you said in mind so i have an answer for him if they do.

Hi Dave many thanks for your reply. Does that mean the court does not need a paper copy? I assumed it would but there no point driving there and back if its not essential.

FTMDave - Yes its brilliant indeed ha ha its what crooks deserve. Would i be right in thinking i should hand deliver the documents to the court tomorrow afternoon and there is no need to send them to UKPC now?

FTMDave - I got the emails sent using the Gmail method i previously mentioned. I formatted the email like you suggested.The WS and the 5 Exhibits . I took a snapshot of the sent items in my email client and saved it. I got an auto reply from all 3 addresses. Dave amazing work indeed, when i read through the WS again i was blown away with how professional it is and your now on my christmas card list lol Brassnecked i have used Thunderbird in the past. I have 8 email addresses and i tried to use a client that can handle them well in an organised way and that is free. Im not sure what email accounts you guys have but im thinking you wont get an email receipt unless your email account supports it. Im interested to find out what accounts you are using.

FTMDave - many thanks for your reply. That is the same Bluemail instructions that i found online but it does not seem to exist on my version, the Outlook one does not work either even though i ticked read receipt, must be dependant on your email account. I found an add on for my browser, it works with gmail and it works fine Ok im off to get started on the email now

Dave - i opened Outlook on my pc as it has the option to use read receipts, it never did anything though in a test email.

Hi Dave 'Bluemail' client for windows desktop i also have the app on my phone. I looked for instructions on how to do this on my desktop client, the option is not there, i'm not an expert on read receipts but if Yahoo and Gmail don't support this im a bit snookered.

lookinforinfo - many thanks for your kind words. It takes me ages to type anything, i have been using pcs at home for over 20 years and i still use 2 fingers. I do know how to spell most things but its amazing the amount i have to tweak with the spell checker. Then i have to read over it 3 or 4 times, putting words in and out and changing any punctuation. I'm not certain the rules around full stops and commas but i give it a good go FTMDave - many thanks again for your wonderful reply. Points noted regarding the WS. I have done a digital signature and dated the bottom of the WS. I have just spent ages trying to figure out how to get a read receipt, i have yahoo and gmail email accounts but neither of them have read receipts. I think gmail used to have them but it seems its only the paid version that has them. You can seemingly get addons but i'm not sure how reliable they are. Any suggestions? Just about to add my details to the top of the WS.

FTMDave - many thanks for for wonderful reply and the posting the other attachment, ill print it tomorrow as the other ones are already printed. Ill also write neatly the exhibit numbers at the top of each page. With regards to emailing the exhibits shall i just name the files exhibit 1 to 5? could you be so kind as add lookinforinfo's 2 good points, i might muck it up with dodgy grammar and formating lookinforinfo - no problem at all and many thanks for your wonderful reply. Your addition points are excellent too. I would add them myself but i might muck it up, i need someones professional touch to get the format and grammar correct like you said it worth adding to the end if it helps my case

Lookinforinfo - many thanks for your very helpful posts and advice. You must have missed it but i already found the excel vs wilkinson document on another site so its printed off too. As dave has suggested i will email it to the court on Sunday afternoon FTmdave - i cant thank you enough for what you have done, im very impressed with how professional it has been done and very factual. This is amazing indeed. i Will do as you suggest and send an email to the court on Sunday afternoon. I will pop over with a paper version for peace of mind. Is there anything i need to include for - 23.8 (exhibit 3)? When it comes to sending the WS to UKPC, is it only the WS i send or is it everything?

Jk thanks for confirming this dx thanks for your reply and clearing that up dave many thanks for doing the work to the WS your a star , im afraid i dont have any contact details for the friend who helped me and he stays quite far away in somerset. I did mention to them about my car problems in the appeal but they never provided a copy of this.

hi slick many thanks for posting the link i dont need to pay anything, i dont intend to ever use Self assessment again but you never know what the future holds
