Not manifesto pledge, but what about commitment to 'independent' #LoanChargeReview? #LoanChargeScandal destroyed countless lives, at least 10 #LoanChargeSuicides, recognised as "mis-selling", but review simply looking at how to 'encourage' victims to pay up.

Mel Stride's reputation should be in tatters, here's what MP's & Peers had to say about his #LoanChargeScandal behaviour.

At least 10 #LoanChargeSuicides (+14 attempts)... how many would be alive now now if Stride acted differently?

Some people have been driven to the brink of bankruptcy by large unexpected tax bills. It's also been linked to 10 suicides.

Is life better for #LoanChargeScandal victims of mis-selling who Labour promised an independent #LoanChargeReview, but delivered investigation to 'encourage' victims to pay up?

Scandalous betrayal as promoters, accountants who recommended, HMRC failures and #LoanChargeSuicides ignored.

So the government isn't going to do a proper investigation into #loancharge EXCEPT from the point of raising taxes. NOTHING about the suicides, HMRC literally lying to Parliament repeatedly. Nothing about hmrc not going after milionaire scheme owners who lied to contractors.

Putting these unscrupulous companies on the 'naughty step' and allowing the individual promoters / directors to run away with the loot is clearly not working.

Meanwhile, #HMRCgovuk continue to destroy the promoters victims "low hanging fruit"

When I walk down the street and see the homeless bedded down for the night I often reflect and feel that this will be me in a year or so. All down to trusting my trusted accountant and HMRCs blatant disregard for the UK Legal System

Devastating. Approaching retirement age, stress, worry - just unable to fully quantify the impact on mental health

And it seems so far this is totally endorsed by a Government who cares not for the law or what is morally right

Thanks Emily, as someone affected by the #LoanChargeScandal, I've been waiting for a proper review. However reading the Objectives & Scope www.gov.uk/government/p... I am disappointed as it seems to be narrowed to focusing on how they can make people pay. People who were mis-sold these arrangements

Have had a home visit by revenue protection within HMRC who tried to frighten me into the powers that HMRC have. Saying my home is at risk and asking how much equity is on the home!
I do not want the harrassament from HMRC

I was bullied by HMRC at the time of set up as I was told if I didn't pay this every month then the other £7k would be added to the settlement
This whole period has been very stressful & I believe unjust in the way it has been claimed
