mint Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I am wondering whether it would be too much to ask juswundrin and isitlunchtime to say which département/s they live in?If I knew, I could say well the people living in départements X and Y have had their refunds and why is it I haven't had mine?Now I realise that you might think this kind of question is sensitive and you might not want to share that info on an open forum.It would be a help to me in that case if you could perhaps PM me?Thank you in advance and I do understand if you do not wish to take up my suggestion[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitlunchtime Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 30.Not sensitive!!Although in my case truer to say am getting rather than got. Still waiting on one dégrèvement and (no doubt) three separate intérêts moratoires Happy to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Mint's right as regards which department .. as it does make a difference.Here, in 56, we declare our taxes last and so receive our avis last etc etc.So it comes as no surprise that we are still waiting for any action on our rebates or even the courtesy of a reply.

isitlunchtime Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not sure I concur. A national decision was finally made and transmitted to the relevant body in each department. They in turn assess the validity of the claims and pass on to local offices to implement the refunds. No reason I see why it would spin out in the way you suggest. Have you got any useful responses/reference numbers? It went to the departmental juridique office and I got hold of them. Using the reference number you’ve hopefully had for each claim seems to ease communications hugely. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittersmate Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I had reference nos for each of the 3 claims and these were quoted in my two emails. Doesn't seem to have expedited matters as still awaiting reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thank you, isitlunchtime[:)] I should have known you were in Gard as you mentioned Nimes...I am just pushing this whole matter right to the back of my mind as it just seems so TEDIOUS[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitlunchtime Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Try to find someone here[email protected]These are the guys who tell the local offices what to doIf you dm me I’ll give you my inspector who may not be yours but might help. Can’t publish it cos he might get the hump!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 isitlunchtime, that is immensely helpful, thanks again.So as not to IMPLICATE you ([:D]), I will have a scout round the site you mention. You are right in that it's better whenever and wherever possible to speak to the butcher and not the block! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitlunchtime Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just got good news. Inspector at local office rang me, left a VM and sent an email to say they have my cheque and would I like to come collect as it’ll be quicker than them posting. Also they’ve calculated the interest on all three amounts and will be transferring directly to our bank account.. I must’ve done something right (in a previous life)...So in case it helpsI submitted claims originally via secure message on impôt website. Eventually got messages to say it had been sent to the juridique people in Nîmes to assess. Crucially I was given contact details and three reference numbers. After that I contacted Nîmes directly (not website) and was told my up to three different people replying to one mail, that my claims had been verified but that they were waiting on national team to give instructions.This duly happened end of summer and now by combo of emails to both department and local I have a result.There is no reason they would hang on to your money, ONCE your claim is verified.If I can be of any assistance don’t hesitate.

idun Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 There was a reason why they hung onto your money.......... because they could![:-))]And that is what they are like!Pleased you are at last getting it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fittersmate Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Really pleased isitlunchtime that your tax people have sorted out your reimbursements + interest. Just hoping that the ones in Vannes will sort out ours soon but won't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evianers Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 We sent a "what's going on?" email to the DGFIP in Annecy (74) on 4th October but got no reply. Today we sent a follow up email and have received the following response (translated from the French):"Following your message below, I inform you that your request is registered in our service.Concerning the processing times, we have a lot of delay due to the influx of claims.Nevertheless, I tell you that we are doing everything possible to reduce the backlog.In addition, we may be required to contact you again when processing your file for possible additional information."No surprise there then and it could just be a standard "delay and contain" tactic.Still, there may be a Christmas present coming, even if it is our own money....We live in hope!

isitlunchtime Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Well, maybe I live in a less popular area for claimants??I can't blooming believe it - they've now just sent a breakdown of interest and I tell you what, it's a lot more than you'd get in a bank deposit account.10% For the 2015, paid in 20166.4% for the following year paid in 20173.85% on the amount paid in 2018I know I'm dreaming but it's a real nice one, don't wake me.....

mint Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Bravo, isitlunchtime!I have emailed today, reminding them that they last wrote to me to say that they were awaiting the judgement of the CJUE. Then I pointed out that the judgement has been made and would they now proceed to reimburse me without further delay.More waiting but I will be back should there be any response!isitlunchtime, you have greatly encouraged me to get off my lazy behind and just keep chasing, so thanks again.

isitlunchtime Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 yes go for it!The inspector actually apologised to me for the delay and the muddled cheque/transfer....I told her that according to this forum I'm the only person in France to get reimbursed and not to worry...

mint Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Your unique position of being the only person in France to be reimbursed might pass into legend or urban myth or whatever!

pomme Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I've finally had a letter today stating my claim for the tax years 2015, 2016, 2017 has been accepted with a breakdown of the refund for each year. The payment will be paid automatically (as long as I am up-to-date) with my tax payments.However, there is no mention of any interest on the refunds, so the claim isn't quite finished yet...

nomoss Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Received a cheque for our refund in respect of our declaration for 2016.What surprised me was that it was put into an envelope and "posted" into the ATM inside the bank just before lunch yesterday, and the amount was shown in our account when I logged in about 5 hours later.
