Fraud on tax code HMRC

104 replies

Peasnbeans · 29/09/2024 14:18

I've just registered to look at my tax code and paid employment on the Gov.co.uk website, and have found that a fraudulent company (B&D Transport, Midlands, multiple Romanian names running it and other businesses from a normal house address) have me down as THEIR EMPLOYEE and say they are paying me! And I'm paying them tax!!
How so?
I've only ever worked for the County Council as PAYE.

Help!
I've checked my Credit report - nothing weird and still an almost 100% (for what it's worth?!)

@Bromptotoo You're right - I should know that!! Thinking about it it would be hard for someone to apply in OPs name as they'll be able to see according to records at least she's got 2 jobs and possibly not in need of further support but weirder things have happened

Have you actually contacted HMRC yet?

All these other things are peripheral, ie extras. The only person you need to contact, the only thing you need to do, is contact HMRC. I'll bet then, that it'll be gone from your record within a few days. You're making this much more complicated than it needs to be.

@Oblomov24 she said in one of her updates that she submitted an online message and then that she spent over an hour on the phone to HMRC

@swapcicles Glad to hear that. I spoke to HMRC the morning after I found out, and they put me through to another fraud team after the initial tax team.
The (unknown) employment is still showing on my account. It now says, 'employment ended'.
I'm going to call HMRC again on Friday - that's enough working days for them to have looked into it, imo. And the squeaky wheel gets the oil and all that.

@Oblomov24 RTFT 😉
