Petition Make HMRC more publicly accountable and don't allow them raid private accounts.

A couple of years ago they admitted making an error in my tax owing to my having both an income and a pension. It was an underpayment of almost £4500. This came to light when I submitted my tax return on-line. Straight away I was presented with a demand for payment. I immediately appealed given it was a mistake made by them. I received several threatening letters informing me I HAD to pay and I WOULD be fined if I did not. I pointed out that I was in dispute with them and they refused to accept it and so I was fined and had to pay all of the money. I tried to go to the next level but because the rules are so tipped in their favour my case did not qualify! I wrote to the Prime Minister and received a letter from an aide denying responsibility.
