Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I didn't know I was owed it until last year, when I filled out a claim form to find out if I was owed anything. Turns out I was, and they said it'd be sent soon. Then they sent it to my old address. They also say "Allow 16 weeks for delivery" as I think they send outgoing mail by carrier pigeon. Disabled ones.Woah, woah, woah!a) Can anyone apply for a rebate?b) Where do I get this claim form to see if I'm owed anything?c) If I owe them money will they take it from me?d) What information do you need to claim? P60s and that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I wrote to them pretty much saying:"Oi. I've worked for loads of agencies, and I'm pretty sure I got tax raped for about a year. Do you owe me money? I think you do, so give me it now, yeah?"They wrote back about 3 months later with an enclosed form. I sent it back with everything I had, which was a couple of P60's, Tax Code letters etc. Not much. I got a letter saying I was owed a few hundred quid. Months later it didn't arrive. I phoned them back in April. Turns out they sent out to the wrong address (even though they'd replied to me twice to the right address!!). They're sending another one to me, which they said can take "up to 16 weeks", which is a bit mental.So yeah, it's a lengthy process, but if you want to get a cheque for your overpaid tax in about 18 months time, you should get them on the blower.

I ended up owing them about 2.5k, which they kindly let me pay back over the next two years on a much higher tax code! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sods left it the same 'til April/May this year leaving me on an even lower tax-code until this time next year. Cocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't want to know what that is. Gads.It's what happens when you go for a long run and your t-shirt rubs your nips raw. Occasionally it'll even draw blood. Don't think running in the pishing rain helped last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 People who post on Facebook that they have passed their driving theory test and then the people who congratulate them.

Scootray Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Let's be honest here though. The theory test is the easiest thing in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I remember studying like fuck for the theory, literally doing hours of practise questions and hazard perceptions. I put the easiness of it down to that.Best bit was I only barely passed the fucking thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I found the Hazard Perception thing to be a proper bitch. But the other half of it was easy as. It's weird, some people seem to find it really tough and doesn't make any sense and then everyone else finds it easy as it gets.I think I got three questions wrong in the first bit because they were completely obscure things, then got like 47/70 for the hazard perception (since it's pretty much all reactions).

Moose Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I just read that its been made a lot harder recently as well. I did mine about 5 years ago. Speaking of tests, I just did a numerical reasoning test for a job I'm in line for. 50 questions in 50 minutes. About half of them were proper convoluted and tricky, really, really hard. They would be ok if there was more than a minute per question. Great Odin's Raven, I feel mentally challenged now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Upstream Research Analyst for N. Africa and Middle East for Wood Mackenzie. Seriously, the practice questions were like: 23+57=112-?, but the actual questions involved retrospective discounting and OTHER MAD SHIT that takes way more than a minute to answer. Maybe I'm not as think as I smart I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
