Inland Revenue Call Centre

Yesterday I spoke to someone at the contact centre who told me I cannot get a refund of tax overpaid in 1998 as the inland revenue only repay within the last 3 years, I spoke to a friend who's an accountant he advised that it is up to 6 years. When I called in to my local tax office they confirmed 6 years.

Has any one else had misinformation from these guys?

Sadly those who answer the phones at IR offices are not always the most switched on.
