Mr A McGill, Surrey
HMRC had been threatening to bankrupt this client after he failed to pay his long outstanding tax bill. He had a mortgage with a lender that due to the financial crisis was no longer is suing new loans. This meant that he could not turn to his lender for assistance to help repay the debt. Furthermore, as HMRC had issued default notices and a CCJ he could not remortgage with a new lender, as his credit rating had been tarnished. With the revenue now breathing down his neck and a looming bankruptcy petition, Mr M was referred to us. We got to work and raised enough to repay the taxman and give MR M a well earned reprieve!
