I hope you will find it less offensive when I reveal that I am a survivor of rape. Hope I didn't offend myself. Of course being raped and being ripped off are nowhere near alike on the trauma scale. But the tactics employed by those who would victimise people in these ways are similar. Refusing to take no for an answer and leaving someone confused and feeling that their only option is to acquiesce, just to get it over with. Yeah thanks for your advice, I'll know that for next time, not much help with my current situation though.
Well, it was new to me, in 11 years in practice nothing like this has ever happened to me. Not all rapes need a gun to one's head either, psychological coercion is a thing.
Question for the accountants - have any of you been taken to court by Croner-i? I am concerned about what happens now that Kate has said she will not be communicating with me further.
Unfortunately, Kate Morris is the person I've been talking to and she has been no more helpful than anyone else in considering the possibility that I do not want their product and I will not be paying for their product. (Add me to the list of the scammed!) I was shown a demo of their full bells-and-whistles version, not given the opportunity to investigate the basic version, the basic version is less useful than free search engines out there, and they want to hold me to a five-year contract that they have ample evidence I was pressured into signing. They seem to have a "cancellations department" but have never let my query leave their "retention team." This is an unethical company that I want nothing more to do with even if they did agree to provide the full version at the price I negotiated. Quick and courteous is irrelevant when they continue to insist that they are right!
Hi, I came here to see if anyone else was having problems with them. I have recently been bullied/pressured into signing a five-year contract (I know) on the basis of a one-hour demo of their full package, the price of which was only revealed afterwards, and at no point was I allowed to say no thank you, that's too expensive for me. I signed up for their basic version instead, which is not helpful at all, and they won't let me terminate the contract. I feel their tactics were similar to a friend who sadly recently fell for an HMRC scam -- don't let them off the phone until you've badgered them into agreeing to something. :( I would be interested in joining forces against this unethical company.

For the record, I was not trying to wind anyone up.
The guidance does seem to imply that dividends income is included in "taxable income" -- but the current guidance has pretty much the exact same wording, and dividends income is not included when determining whether the starting rate on bank interest applies.
The new HMRC website format seems to have been devised to be read on tablets and provide no useful information whatsoever. :(
My answers
Was the salesman Jordan by any chance? I've never come across anyone so pushy and I feel very badly for anyone he encounters in real life.

Alas, this option appears to have now been removed.

There haven't been any 8% interest rates in MANY years.
Guess I got in early on these nice accounts. Don't be mad at me because you didn't.
Examples?
Hello, I just gave you several!
