1. Do your own research and make such representations to the parties involved as you deem fit
2. Engage your own solicitor to challenge the claims
3. Join a group that is already doing that
(I'm assuming that paying the demand is not an option).
1. Requires a lot of time and probably the collection and collation of evidence that you may not have.
2. As you have gathered from reading this thread - please do that - you are in specialist territory and educating a lawyer as to the minutae of the issues here is something you will have to pay for.
3. To the best of my knowledge the people who have had demands and who have sought and perhaps joined a group, have joined either:
WTT's group (that's me and my firm), or
ETCtax's group (a guy called Andy Wood with whom we speak regularly)
I'm aware that other advisers have opined that either the matter is so straightforward that the simplest of rebuttals would suffice to make it all go away whilst others have asked for some quite substantial fees without actually saying what they plan. I have no other details on those.
We (WTT) offer a free call and a modest joining fee for our group.
ETCtax I think also offer a free call and will make the initial response for free as well (or at least they were last week).
I think that covers it.
No adviser is going to go into detail here as to their strategy.
Unfortunately there are many opinions and views in this thread to sift. Some are sensible, some not and some frankly are fantasy. However, read them all as it will repay you.
