   Ouch... not good, glad you got the suckers in the end.   
      
   My 'sting' was from the taxman. My accountant completed my tax return to   
   inform me of a small amount of tax to pay (under $10). I filed this and last   
   week a letter arrives saying your first tax installement to pay is $7430   
   please pay by Aug 20th.   
      
   Yipes I thought... upon calling the tax dept. they inform me the assessed   
   amount to pay is some $20,000. I nearly fall off my chair. After rechecking my   
   tax return I discover my account had entered in all of my primary income as   
   secondary income as well.. effectively saying to the tax man I had earnt twice   
   as much as I had actually made.   
      
   A call to the taxman to tell them of the mistake has (I think) called off the   
   hounds.   
      
   Always double check the docs you pay good $$ for be prepared before you submit   
   them... lesson learnt the hard way.
