HMRC cancelled payment plan - income tax

[andy210000]

Hi,

 

Ive just logged into my HMRC online today and realised that the £200 direct debit that i setup in December 2019 was not showing in the payments section.

 

gave them a call to find out that they cancelled the payment plan in march 2021 due to failing to keep the arrangement (however they continued to take the £200 via Direct debit).

 

I later found out that the self assessment for last year is was caused the cancellation, I also created an additional payment to them which started in march 2021 and pays every month for £200. so essentially im now paying back £400 per month (debt is for about £17k).

 

spoke to the debt management team and they say it needs to be paid in full now and the maximum the payment plan can be setup for is for 12 months which will be around £1650 per month.

 

I cant afford this and have no way of raising this sort of cash , ive got bad credit so cant get a loan , got no family that could also help me.

 

Please someone help me with what i can do , im seriously getting concerned that baliffs will start next!

 

thankyou

 

Andy

you can't get bailiffs on Tax Debts ..

 

are you happy you do owe all this money?

or are there possible mistakes?

I believe HMRC have stepped up their tactics in collecting tax arrears this year including formal proceedings such as bankruptcy, etc.

 

As DX says, first off, are you certain the amount allegedly owed is actually correct and payable.

 

Have you simply fallen behind in settling tax due, or some other reason - brief details please.
