And then a grand.

You better contact them by RECORDED DELIVERY so you can prove it to them if it's delivered.

I can tell you forgot to send in your return and now you're cowardly trying to put that on them like it's their fault. I see this all the time. Tut tut.

 

But he'll have a reference number that it was posted with and delivered by Royal Mail, yeah?

 

I could tell him what to do to get off with it but he's always been a ****ing knobhead so I'll just let him carry on crying about being a hundred quid out of pocket.

I'd rather just pay it than go through all that ****e he's doing.

 

And there lies the problem as you say

 

I dunno what electing Labour would have done about it like

 

It needs an overhaul whoever is in power

 

yes but not to HMRC .
Welcome to the joys of outsourcing and closure of local offices.

 

100% online for a starters.

Like that over here, think only people in their 70s would send it through post

 

Don't people write to their MP's anymore, I'm sure it would be more effective than on not606. At least then your complaint is recorded.

 

And what was the answer that the "working class"
gave you for the 2019 election result ??

Voted for the "lesser of two evils" (in their eyes) ??
Something else ??

The UK is some way from the "uniparty" of the USA
(Democrat and Republicans being the two
self-serving cheeks of the same arsehole) , but give it time ...

 

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, pal. If he sends it recorded delivery that shifts the blame to them and at worst delays the fine to allow him to send them in again.

It's like paying with a credit card. It gives you protection.

 

That's it. I don't think his query is going to get resolved on here anytime soon.

 

And there the problem is people not really giving a fk for another it's just wages and they don't see past it which any empathy or logic

 

It's a principle ting

 

If post has been outsourced all recorded delivery would show that it was received by the handler you then still have the problem of getting HMRC to accept that it has been received .
Among the many reasons i loath much of the craze for outsourcing by big Govt departments is it allows them extra ways of brushing you off .
Another reason was if you were a lowly employee of said dept trying to find out what the lazy ****s were actually meant to do was a nightmare as constantly heard "not contracted for that" from G4S , Serco Atas Capita etc employees during my dealings with them .

 

You give them the reference number that they can check themselves on Royal Mail and it will them when it was delivered and who signed for it.

 

we are going round in circles - its just like dealing with the HMRC

 

Another great myth of recorded delivery is timeliness.
At best all it can tell you that the package was delivered,
and when it was handed over.

A 1st class paid recorded delivery package is not
prioritised to be delivered before 1st class standard
packages. So when sending stuff to the taxman etc,
give it plenty of time to allow for potential delays.

 

tbh with some of these centralised mail handling sites i'm not even sure recorded delivery can be done .
