Hello all,

I am currently having problems with the website in the title of this thread. (All one word).

Being under the impression that they were in fact part of the HMRC, I requested a work mileage rebate form from them, filled it out, signed and returned it.

I then received a call very recently to request some further info regarding my application. In essence they wanted to confirm my employer, my address and they also requested copies of my mileage forms.

Immediately after this call I did some further research in to this website, as something didn't feel right.

I then found out that they are a 3rd party who charge for a service. I immediately contacted them, within 30 minutes of our phone call, to say I do not want them to act on my behalf and any dealings we have had are to cease immediately. I followed this up with a hand written letter.

In response they called me and claimed that if i cancel now then I am liable to pay a £100 invoice for the 'work they have carried out on my claim'.

I immediately contacted HMRC to block them from acting on my behalf, and I asked what this company had actually done for me so far. HMRC told me that all they have done so far is request for mileage forms to be sent to my address for my signature. These haven't yet arrived. HMRC also confirmed that no deed of assignment had been created.

I do not feel that they are justified is asking for £100 for their services, and I was wondering if anybody had any advice on what I should do next or how I should deal with this?

£100 + VAT seems ridiculous for a total of 9 minutes on the phone and requested some forms.

I am worried that when I receive an invoice, it will be higher than £100, with additional charges for made up work they are claiming to have completed on my behalf.

I have only seen 2 other threads on this topic, and neither of them seem to come to any conclusion.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

Sadly there are sites seeking to make money out of people by deceiving them that their site is the official one. I nearly fell for one a while back when trying to renew my European health card.

I'm sorry that our threads had no conclusion. That's always disappointing and we do ask posters to let us know how things pan out.

You probably don't have too much to worry about and we'll certainly help you if they start making legal threats. The site team are aware of your thread and I'm about to send you a PM [private message], please look out for it.

Best, HB

Simply ignore them

Weve never seen any do court

I would think that if they went anywhere near a court, the Judge would tear them a new one.

As dx has suggested, ignore anything else that you receive from these clowns.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll update this thread with any developments.

Please do, whether you resolve it or need further help.

Please see the attached invoice which I received recently.

I have a problem with the payment terms, as they are stated as immediate.

I also still believe that the £100 is extortionate, considering a claim was never filed with HMRC. The only work carried out before I managed to cancel was the request of mileage forms to be sent to me, and 2 phone calls totaling 9 minutes.

What do you suggest I do in light of this invoice?

I am worried as I have signed their agreement.

But even so, this surely isn't fair?

They haven't done anything to charge £100 for.

Do I have any right to refuse to pay this invoice?

What would the consequences be?

Thank you
