The Entitlements Agency
Discussion

So, apparently there is a chance HMRC may have underpaid me some allowances, and this very official looking website has the lowdown.
All looks very promising, and an extra 500 + quid would be quite useful ATM.
So, downloaded the (again) very official looking form, and on page one, it says;
'Once we receive your claim, we will liaise with the Inland Revenue to determine whether you are eligible for the
rebate.'
So, you aren't actually HMRC then?
On the next line...
'Please note, The Entitlements Agency will retain any interest and £94exc vat for processing and administration.'
At this point, my 'scam' alarm is ringing.
Surely if I am owed this cash, I can just ask HMRC for it, without stumping up over a hundred quid to what appears to be an official agency (but may just be a gang of chancers) for the paperwork?
Has anyone any experience of this? Am I just being paranoid, and is the cash actually there to be claimed at all?

Thought as much. MSE says that a phone call to the tax Credits helpline will achieve the same result at a discount of approx 94 quid plus VAT.
So, why are these chancing b
ds allowed to target vulnerable people through their FaceBook accounts in this way? Have they taken over from Ocean Finance and FirstPlus? Coming to an add-break in the Jeremy Kyle show, or on Nick2 soon?
