Taxing time

Trying to contact HM Revenue & Customs these days is a taxing affair. I wrote to them on 11 March about an incorrect tax coding notice, and received no reply for a number of weeks. I then contacted them by phone, got the matter rectified (or so it seemed), but was informed my letter would not receive a response until May. Having then been over-taxed this month I tried to phone them again and from morning until evening "all advisers were on other calls".

A further letter a week ago remains unanswered. And it's no good trying to make contact via their website as there's no e-mail address.
