@HMRCcustomers Thanks Steve. I’ll try first thing 👍🏽

[Melanie Rodrigues @MelRodrigues01]

@HMRCcustomers I’ve been on hold for 1 hour 16 mins. After which your automated voice told me to try again another time and hung up. I have a cap gains bill to pay by 12 Jan but the XF no you issued is not being accepted. Please advise how I pay this if I can’t speak to you?
