I have recently started receiving HMRC correspondence for 2 clients both of which I stopped acting for more than 6 years ago which is very odd and probably due to an HMRC error. The correspondence is for both PAYE and corporation tax. Has anyone else had these? I am just going to ignore the letters for now. We are not listed as agents.

Just ignore them
I get them now and then. I've tried informing HMRC that I no longer act (not listed as agent) but they don't respond. I think there's a rogue computer hidden away in Scotland which does nothing but send out erroneous letters to redundant agents. What happens after Independence? Can we bomb the blasted thing?
Me too
Over 4 years and still getting emails. So much for confidentiality. As it happens I have access to the same client and have been able to check the settings on their account. My email address isn't on there but still they keep coming.........
* edit - I should have said that the emails I receive are for tax coding and changes.
Just send 'em back to HMRC
with a big red "No longer acting" across them, in an unstamped envelope.
Why should you have to pay for HMRC's [***]-ups?
Send them back
to where ? I am getting letters from HMRC with no address on them ! Clients are getting them too.
