So at the beginning of last month, I sent my p60 away to them as I had overpaid 400 pounds in tax. I used the tracker to find out when I would be expecting a reply, as I wanted to put it towards my holiday in early August and it said the 29th July. 'Brilliant,' I thought, as I KNEW I was entitled to the money back as I was under the personal allowance, so there should have been no qualms.
But July 29th came and went, and no reply. It was only today that I received a fucking letter, saying,
'I have checked the amount of tax you paid in the tax year ending 5 April 2013. I have worked out that you paid too much tax and I will send you a tax calculation shortly.'
Er, NO. I checked the amount of tax paid, and I worked out that I paid too much. I brought it to your attention, so don't act like you were combing through the system and happened to find out that I was due money and you are doing a favour by sending me my 400 pounds. 3 weeks from now, according to the letter. [Confused]
The fact that the money won't be coming in time for hols doesn't really matter, OH is paying for my half of the hols till the cheque comes in. It's just a teeny wee bit of a pisstake how they conduct themselves, especially if the coin was flipped and I owed them money.
