Was your 'chum' convicted in a court of law?

If not, just more of your nonsense.

No, they put what they know to him, if you are bang to rights you can pay the 1000 quid fine, if you deny it and go to court that is your option, probably at your own expense.

 

My chum did not pay the 1000 quid fine because he/they proved he had a brain operation, and they didn't know about locked pension as his sister in the UK did all his paperwork, he couldn't. I have since done his paperwork for many years to keep him out of trouble..

 

My chums friend had similar, but he knew he was on the fiddle, he paid the 1000 quid and now lives in the UK...

Though this was years back now, but as I said, if you know it all, great, but don't dismiss actual facts, eh...🤗

That little sentence that says " You also risk having to pay a penalty or may have legal action taken against you "

 

Is a misprint and shouldn't have been written 😀😀

 

There will be a few confused faces when State Pension payments are suddenly suspended 

I find it difficult to believe some on here dismiss the DWP written, printed warnings......😋

I'd prefer the sentence to be more accurate and say ..........

"You also risk having to pay a penalty or may have legal action taken against you, but you would be the first"

Oh, answer this, if you are in the UK paying tax, and you send your tax return in late, what happens..?

 

Do they fine you 100 quid on the spot...?

 

They did many years back when I was there.........🤭

 

So, a fiddle pension is waaay more serious than a late tax return, eh..:whistling:

You are never 'bang to rights' ........ always deny, always go to court if they insist.

That's my policy, and I win every time, mostly the other side caves, but the two that didn't resulted in 1 win against the law society (disagreement over solicitors fees settled in my favour), 1 win against the police (7,000 pounds compensation paid to me).

 

The interesting thing about the UK police, they often start court proceedings then don't turn up to the court, so you win by default without needing any evidence.

(Off topic) But can't really answer,

The only times I filled in a tax return was to claim money back (3x), I've always been taxed at source with no other income. So no tax returns ever required, unless I have an allowance and don't want to wait until next year to get it back.

I know of no new powers granted in 2024, and we aren't in 2025 for another month.

They may get new powers at some time in the future, but unlike you, I don't claim to know the future.

Obviously, you don't know your possible future......🤕
