Fleming Claims Update

The level of the claims is estimated to range from £5 billion to £8.5 billion, but is anyone getting their money back?

Well it is always good to know that right at the front of the queue in submitting claims were the Labour Party, with a claim of £2.15m (and £2.45m interest thereon), but wait for it, this was in relation to staff expenses!! Better than that is to know that they have been one entity to submit their claim and actually have it paid so far.

I think from our experience we are seeing many of the much smaller claims finding it harder to get their money from Customs quite that quickly!

If you have submitted a claim and are either, being asked for information that is impossible to produce considering the time scales (some claims date right back to 1973), or indeed struggling for even an acknowledgment from HMRC then I am sure these experiences would be interesting to share........
