So you see yourself as a scheme user's policeman. Strange you havent set up an organisation to aide the very people you have an interest in and instead appear to want to settle scores. Or may you did and dobbed in your 'clients' in the end?
Irrespective, what you are doing on here is destroying the hope of the very people you claim to be protecting by outing others. I dont suppose you really care if you drive people further and further into desparation so long as it suits your agenda.
All you andone or twoothers I could mention are doing is making it easier for HMRC to get complete capitulation from these people.Comment

Originally posted by dammit chloe View PostI agree. I almost joined BG but something didn't feel right. Maybe it was speaking to 3 different WTT people and getting 3 different answers. Maybe it was all the jawjaw, while what was needed was warwar. Maybe it was the joining fee which would be fine if there was previous victories to benefit from.
Anyway, IMO, they waited so long that there were always behind the action when there may been an opportunity to take the shot.
It is one facet where I have to acknowledge Matt Hall's efforts. He is taking real action in real courts.
Just to put this into a bit of context, do you realise how many years it has taken for him to get to this stage ? Purely down to how HMRC like to stall, stall and stall some more. I think even MH would agree that WTT or any other tax advisors for that matter would have been able to get to court any quicker.
What I would ask is how many who are looking forward to the final result of the MH case have actually invested some money into it ? For clarity, I have ! However, I would put a wager on there being plenty who are hanging off the coattails of others, it seems to be the contractor way ! I just hope that those who haven't invested, are not the ones throwing mud around in an attempt to taint others.
There are plenty out there who for instance refused to donate to the Loan Charge, stating it would be a waste of time and money. Move forward to the Morse review and I am sure some who felt that way, now find themselves in a better position which may improve even further once the Finance Bill has been given Royal Assent.
I guess what I am trying to say is people make their choices based on the options available to them, people have opinions on those options and will either agree, or disagree and all of that is fine. However, it has gone way beyond that, whereby some people want to just discredit others and continue to do this on a regular basis. All I ask it think about what other damage you are causing. Opinion is out there, no need to keep repeating it.
For me personally, I am deep s**t with all of this and honestly, see no real way out other than bankruptcy. However, I have still put my money behind and backed more than one advisor and am still relying on them all to help pull me through this mess. At the time of making those decisions, I thought 'It was the right thing to do' for me and my family. Do I regret any of those decisions ? No !
HMRC are good at moving the goal posts at any point they look vulnerable and seek to divide and conquer to cause more uncertainty and stress and seems they are winning here !
What we should be doing is re-evaluating our own personal circumstances and options all the way through this, based on what information we have to hand. Unfortunately we still have to rely on the professionals and even they cannot give any guarantee's.
Therefore, make your own decisions and good luck with whatever path you take and remember, if the professionals were always right, then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place, but it's the same professionals we are now relying on getting us out of this mess. HMRC are the enemy here, nobody else.STRENGTH - "A river cuts through rock not because of its power, but its persistence"Comment

Originally posted by Pennydroppers View Postcan you elaborate on the "proper channels". If a scheme/cult is acting inappropriately, then a proper channel is not internal to that scheme. WTT have closed down their forum, meaning members have no place to share concerns.
Graham said from the very beginning it would take 5 years https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...big-group.html see page one of the thread. Allowing for the set up time, we're approaching 5 years now.
All this sudden hostility is a little puzzling to be honest. If you're not happy with BG, just bail out.Comment

MH's spanner might just turn out to be a positive thing. Sometimes organisations, and their leaders, need a kick up the arse.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Originally posted by DealorNoDeal View PostI don't know how long MH, and the other groups, have been in litigation, but it does seem WTT are last to get anywhere near a court.

I am closing this thread.
