Yes I know - that's the bummer
There MUST be some recourse available to them to revisit the situation, given that Vantis provided inaccurate information (if indeed it was inaccurate, rather accurate but uniformed of the current amount that has grown remarkably since administration).
GM highlighted the process AA should have followed to register all these debts that have miraculously appeared since administration - maybe there's some way they can be brought to book over failure to register them?
I'm sure every move is being watched very carefully. I wouldn't expect HMRC to go to the press every day and comment on every 'statement' issued by AA. I'm hoping they're just quietly biding their time, drumming their fingers and waiting to pounce.
