i cant get my tax rebate back from brookdale, they have had my money since september 2023. i have emailed and had email back saying they have sent me a link to claim form and to fill it in, guess what, no claim form. i am now not getting a response. i have called them and no answer.
if you look on company how their accounts are overdue, looks to me as if they are having money problems. Any suggestions on how to get my money back would be helpful.

This company are fraudulent - don't be fooled

Do not deal with this company! Following several phone calls, emails and frustration, I finally spoke to an HMRC agent who assisted me.

Brooksdale have been highlighted to them on many occassions. They now carry out thorough checks (following hundreds of complaints) with the claimant named on the fraudulent R40 forms that Brooksdale submit to them. No payments are made to them any more.

Be warned, but am sure they will set up again under another name!

Nothing but a bunch of scammers and thieves! HMRC assure me that Brooksdale recieved my refund last July, they just keep denying they have ever recieved it and tell me HMRC are still reviewing my claim. Take my advice and steer well clear of them. I doubt now I will ever get my refund.

Applied for PPI from an old credit card…

Applied for PPI from an old credit card back in August 2023. Recently got a letter from HMRC asking me for proof of my income to claim tax back for interest paid on my PPI claim. They want final response letter from company that maid the payment to me (ive not been sent payment or letter from the credit card company or Brooksdale) or certificate from the company that refunded me (ive had no refund).
When i emailed Brooksdale they wanted a copy of the letter/form. The form has been filled in and my signature forged by them. I have had no payment or info on any refund they have received from the credit card company in my name.
This morning i got an email wanting to work on my behalf to get money back for car tax.
Avoid these scammers at all cost. Im sure if there was a refund that i will not see any of it. All good reviews they have im guessing are fake

Absolute con artists

Absolute con artists, tell you they are going to claim for PPI for you, then hidden in the small print that they will act as agents with the HMRC for you. Claim tax rebates and steal a huge percentage of it. Run far away

Scam

This company are nothing short of scammers. I never signed up for their services but I thought never mind they have some money for me. They sent me a link that wouldn’t let me through any further so I was unable to access my money. Then all of a sudden they started ignoring my emails one which I recently sent this week. Am I due any interest they have earned on this money being in their bank? Probably not! Not a bad scam though is it?

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand the frustration you must be feeling regarding the delay in processing your claim with HMRC and the challenge in getting updates through agent calls.

We're sorry to hear that you've been waiting for a year for your claim, especially when you were initially informed it would take around 3 months. Delays like this can be incredibly frustrating, and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

We recommend contacting HMRC directly at their provided number, 0300 200 3300, and quoting your claim reference-670087689B83.

While we understand it's inconvenient that agent calls are currently not being taken, reaching out directly may provide you with the necessary updates or confirmations you need regarding your claim status.

We hope that you're able to get the resolution you seek soon. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards,
Brooksdale Ltd
