I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel

I've no idea on that one. Bear in mind that the creditors expect either the equity or the payments in lieu so that might make a difference to how much you offered.

Where would the money becoming from?

[ransonkate]

Not sure yet...was thinking of going on the streets to earn the money to wipe the slate clean

[kallis3]

It would have to come from a legitimate source and I don't think the streets is one of those!!!

[ransonkate]

I know....I was only joking.
Have no way of raising that sort of money anytime soon.
Wishful thinking in wanting to get out of the IVA early.

Having said that --- the ..erm.. better street walkers do well enough to pay income tax on their income ( kinda makes HMRC a pimp though !).

[Car1e]

Haha! [:)]

[kallis3]

Unless things have changed, I don't know of any street walkers who pay tax!!!!

[nepensioner]

Have to say that during my time at HMRC never saw that as an occupation[:)]

[ransonkate]

Are we referring to "soap dodgers" here?
People who sell the Big Issue or beg because if we are then I read an article a few months back in that some earn up to £200 in readies every day!!

Believe me, they do --- mind you they register with HMRC as Exotic Dancers and the like, but there is no way a dancer would earn the sort of money they do, even of the "exotic" variety.

You have to give them some credit for paying tax in the first place, I suppose.

nepensioner, I spent a spell in HMRC in Finance Division and ended it with a year in BIO. Came across them regularly (in a professional capacity, you understand).

[kallis3]

I imagine that the 'exotic dancers' would pay tax but your average prostitute on the street corner wouldn't.

They never used to when I was on the Vice Squad anyway!!!

[ransonkate]

All these people very rarely pay tax...it is fact IMO

[Foggy]

True Jan, that is why I referred to them as "better" street walkers. Trying to be a little coy with the description of High Class Hooker).

[kallis3]

Those working in clubs probably have to and probably those working as 'escorts' but I doubt the ones working in the seedy massage parlours know what a tax code is!!!!
