Hey,
First, I apologies to all for sharing my story...no need to punish me for my actions,we learned the hard way.
Curious to find out how to deal with a tax bill, ignored for a while, followed by a sheriff 'seizure but not reported back to Revenue's Collector General office.
Revenue approached me last month by post, with a demanding outstanding balance owed from years ago.
I replied that we have assumed that by selling the seized item, it will cover the outstanding balance.
Revenue staff confirmed surprised and over the phone, that they have no records of the seizure and /or any information from the sheriff office also,more important,no payment lodged towards my balance.
Contacted the sheriff office,explaining the situation,got a letter back saying that the seizure happened years ago and they don't have any information stored and available to send it over to me.
Now,the catch22 is how legally is the seized item and how can we deal with?
The value of the seized is way over the outstanding balance and I'm thinking to call back Revenue and ask for their opinion ?
Asked the accountant that looked after the accounts at that time and been told he never heard of "officially" similar cases and is definitively a "grey area" to chase on.
Thanks.
