HMRC Debts

Many people are still not aware that HMRC (Her Majestys Revenue & Customs) are NOT preferencial creditors.  Simplified this means that they do not have any preference over any of your other creditors and should be dealt with in the same way.  The only difference with HMRC is that they can and will use effective methods in which to collect monies owed.  This could be by issuing a CCJ (County Court Judgment) followed by visits from bailiffs (and don't forget if your premises are solely commercial they can enter without permission) or even a Winding-Up Petition.  This information is not meant to scare you but to make you realise that you need to tackle your debts head on - the debts will not go away.

You could contact your creditors yourself and try to organise a payment plan but you need to be very careful that you do not show preference to any creditor, you also need to ensure that you payments are realistically affordable and not just a random figure given as a knee jerk reaction.  This is very time consuming and you may find that whilst you are negotiating with your creditors (who will play hard ball to get as much money from you as possible) you are not spending the time required earning money for your business.  It's a chicken and the egg situation!

There are lots of solutions available and of course, your situation will be unique to you therefore it is imperative that you recieve the best advice possible from a company that will work solely on your behalf.  Ensuring that your needs are met and that you are fully protected before your creditors recieve anything!

ALL IN A DAYS WORK.............

I have now been speaking with a company for 6 months, the owner of the business (sole-trader) still to this day cannot believe that we are still calling him to help him with his problems.............and the fact he hasn't paid us a penny.

Like you will have read all along through this blog - we offer a unique service and we pride ourselves on that fact! How many other companies would supply information for free?

The problem he had related to a CCJ - the petitioning creditor would not accept his offer to pay by installments and he was being threatened by County Court Bailiffs. Understandably he was worred. I printed off the forms he needed to fill in, filled in the forms and posted them to him for him to sign and take to the County Court.

He has now had the offer accepted and is happy that the worry and stress has been taken from him.

Problems won't go away, don't bury your head in the sand! If you need impartial, friendly advice on any issue relating to debt then call me!
