I am experiencing issues logging into my self-assessment account due to losing access to my phone number. I know the login and password, but unfortunately, the activation code is sent to the old number. I've tried to log in three times through the recovery account, and despite having all the documents in front of me (P60, payslip, driving licence) and entering the information, HMRC couldn't confirm my identity. I've tried twice through online chat, with the same result. I pass the first data verification, but unfortunately, I don't provide correct information according to them in the second. I also tried calling, after 45 minutes of being on the phone and an attempt to transfer me to another department, the call was disconnected. Other attempts ended up in the queue or with an automated service that wouldn't redirect me to any advisor. Does anybody have idea what may I do in this situation? Thank you

Hi kasperkacpersky,

My SA account is still linked to an old email address that I can no longer access. I can not login as I don’t have the password, but can’t reset the password myself as the verification code is still trying to use the old email address. I called the many helplines and was asked standard security questions, but was then asked 3 questions about SA events so far in the past I can nit answer them, and if I can’t answer them I can’t get any help. I am stuck in a loop, can’t login, can’t submit my SA, and can’t check if I owe additional tax! Why is no one able to help? Why can’t I post a copy of my drivers license or passport? Please help
