HMRC Petition Resolved

## Business as usual

It appears as though a bill that was due to be paid to HMRC by Hartlepool United F.C went unpaid for around 8 to 10 days. The club are insisting that it is business as usual despite the petition.

This is [reportedly](http://www.hartlepool.vitalfootball.co.uk/) the second petition the club have received this year, however, the first petition was dismissed after the court heard that the unpaid bill was due to an 'accounting software error'.
