THE PROBLEM
HMRC tells me to check whether my tax code is correct — but I don't understand what the letters and numbers mean, so how am I supposed to know?
Evidence: A Reddit user's wording captures the problem almost perfectly: HMRC says “contact us if you think this is wrong”, but the person has no idea how they're supposed to know whether it is wrong. HMRC confirms that incorrect codes can result from missing or incorrect information. (Reddit)

Why IT MATTERS
Used vehicles were the single biggest category of Citizens Advice Consumer Service complaints in the cited period — 17.8% of all complaints, ahead of home improvements at 12.6%.

what people currently do
I use email search, paper folders, my phone calendar, reminders, spreadsheets, company apps and sometimes just my memory. A lot of the time I only deal with something when an email or letter reminds me.
