ok one of my experiences
2007 letter stating i owed council tax for 2006 i took time off took down the evidence all ok
so i think!!!! one month later i get letter giving me 14 days to pay outstanding money owed from 2005
same again takes down evidence more time off this goes on
2004/2003/2002 so i get pissed off ask for clarification of when i owe said council tax from
council cannot give me any l leave and then get summons for 2001 a week later
so with solicitor we go to court with paperwork at 10am as stated
only to find the all council tax issues where heard in bulk by magistrates at am
so we show evidence to council reps ,they agree to not bother me again and strike off any further action
1 month later get bailiff visit demanding money from my wife for the 2001 account or he`s gonna take her car hold on £280 alledged owed council tax £210 visit and wants a 40K car so i phone solicitor then council and after lots of argueing bailiff leaves
it then cost me £700 to get an overturn of the original magistrates sentence
i then get a letter demanding outstanding for 1995 ffs now i don`t think i have all the evidence app this is legal
but as luck would have it i paid that year from my business account so i managed to get the payment details with 2 days till the court case
solicitor gets proper hearing with magistrates who ask for clarification council still cannot and do not know when this money is owed from app still legal and council insist that its up to us to prove we paid it (as far back as 1991 app)
the outcome was the council was ordered not to persue the debt any further
so i have had to sue the council for my costs
so as far as i am concerned the only council life under the bench are the usual omeba that work in our over payed council offices

I detest local councils with an absolute passion.....they are nothing short of crooks and thieves, with their oh so shiny clip boards. I thought traffic wardens were bad.

Ok let me clarify.
Most council officials are thieves and over zealous turds and bullies.
Now I did say most as do not want you frothing at the mouth in rage, because a few of your matey chums work for the council who you say are honest as the day is long.
There are a zillion examples out there of bully boy tactics by local councils.
Take Essex council as an example. They prosecute a decent hard working taxpayer for erecting a shed that was 21 inches above the councils RULES yet that same council ( Chelmsford ) allow an ILLEGAL travelers camp to be set up on green belt land, and ten years on they are still there only bigger than ever. Of course that council have all the answers as to why it has taken so long, yeah ten years too long.
It is so much easier to take the little man to court over a shed, but to take a load of illegal people who have trespassed onto land you cannot build on yet, have built a road on it and electric and they even have their own sewage problem sorted.
The local council have dragged their feet for the last ten years over this..........ten fecking years yet got this poor other man into court within three weeks.
God forbid if you do not pay your council tax. They will have the Gestapo Bailiffs around ready to steal your belongings which sometimes do not even cover the debt. Not the fault of the council I know but their tactics when dealing with bailiffs is dodgy to say the least and JUST falls within the law, but morally it stinks like a dog turd.
Google brings up so many pages of councils incompetence and sheer greed, that for anyone to believe local councilors are so honest and trustworthy, really are on the road to see the Wizard of Oz.
There are so many other examples of clip board tactics, and local councils who think it is more important to have your rubbish bin lid shut tight, than most other things. It is called quite simply....extortion.
I think some council officials have been trained by MI5 in the art of surveillance. They are sneaky and are a law unto themselves, and I detest them with a passion. I have had dealings with a few of these officials, who are nothing more than jumped up little job worth's, reveling in their own PR exercise.
Is a nice shiny clip board part of their job package? I wonder how many will be out there today ready and waiting to dish out the massive extortionate fines. The bin collection issue is just a small example of the narrow mindedness of people whose only task in life is to rip people off.
Is that clarity enough for you?

Essex council and their traveller problem? If they'd built enough sites, as required by law, for travellers, they wouldn't have the problem now where they can't enforce the law against those travellers for human rights reasons. As usual you use apples and pears examples; you seem to believe that since Essex, because of heir own errors and choices, can't enforce the law against illegal traveller camps, they shouldn't enforce the law against anyone else either

The traveller comment is based on one section of the community riding roughshod over councils through fear of retribution and intimidation if they dared to try and get them off of green belt land.

I am a hardworking decent taxpayer,,,,,,my accountant tells me can you not comment? You have plenty to say about everything else.
The traveller comment is based on one section of the community riding roughshod over councils through fear of retribution and intimidation if they dared to try and get them off of green belt land.
But then like so many they have used the human rights law to protect themselves but to the detriment of the other people who live in that community who HAVE to abide by the laws of the land or face the councils wrath in court.
But that is something for another thread.
You have a nice weekend now........ya hear?:thrilled:
