I received a letter from the tax office to say that I was due a tax rebate of £205.03 and the cheque
was being paid to my agent, Hawkshaw Ltd. I had never heard of them.
I phoned the tax office and after a wait of three quarters of an hour, finally got to speak to an agent. She gave me their phone number and the contact number for Action Fraud. I asked HMRC not to send them the cheque but they said I have authorised the payment.
I have tried on many occasions to phone Hawkshaw but their voice mail is full and they haven't answered my emails.
The tax office have now sent me a copy of the authorisation I apparently signed. The address on the form is incorrect, although similar, and the signature is nothing like mine.
What do I do?
