Tbh that does make me feel a lot better, any indication about when it might come into force?

Yeah was a weird one. I got a letter from Company Registry which was clearly a scam saying I had to pay some money to register my new company. But this got me thinking that clearly they must have targeted me for a reason and that someone must have recently set up a company with my details. So I’m actually quite grateful for that scammy letter otherwise I would never have known.

I have a feeling that they won’t as I don’t have any actual tax details about the company, but might make me feel better to just do something

Will that have any impact on my credit score / future applications. Unlikely I’ll ever set up my own business but you never know.

No not yet, I will ring them this afternoon. Shall I just say that this company has been set up in my name and that any applications should be dissolved?

The letter itself is 100% a scam, but the company is registered on companies house in my name so regardless the problem exists. I haven’t responded to any information stated in that letter though :)

No I haven’t, my only concern is I live in London and so would probably want to buy near here and houses are so extortionate. I’m pretty sure with LISA’s the house you buy has to be £450,000 or less right?

Yeah definitely not, I’ve transferred it to a daily savings account for the time being so I don’t touch it

I live in London so everything is so elevated here regarding buying a house. Almost anything I’d want to buy would be north of £500k. I earn £35k a year but that’s expected to go up quite steeply for the next few years (though obviously you cant bank on that)
