The two best times to go fishing are when it's raining and when it's not

Its unusual goverment departments talk to each other but i guess extracting money from the masses to pay for Ukraine and our uninvited guests has priority

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Alarm Bells are ringing!!

I assume that came in the form of a Letter ? & not by email/online.

The scammers are getting smarter day by day so, if it's the latter, do not respond!!

Even if it's by Letter, you should contact HMRC & ask the Question, how they knew before you. The Letter could also be a Scam, so I wouldn't subscribe to ANY Links provided in the Letter until you have some answers, Directly from HMRC by Telephone. (Google HMRC - Don't use phone Numbers on the Letter)

Like to think we're looking out for each other on here buddy.

The Data Protection Act is your friend.

Drop them a "Subject access request" for details of everything they hold.

I'd add to that that you should make sure you ask for a printed copy, otherwise you are likely to just get an email containing a file of meaningless computer code.

The letter was delivered by post, with no links to dodgy sites. If I remember rightly the same happened last year
