Chronic illness forced him to give up work in 2006, so he began to draw cash from a personal pension while receiving incapacity benefit from his old employer. He told HMRC about his change in circumstances.

Mr Kent (pictured with wife Kerry) was outraged and set out to get it written off. In 2011, HMRC wiped £6,600 off his bill. But he fought on, and this week the remaining £3,300 debt was struck off. He has also been paid £100 compensation.
