PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

Your letters have probably already gone. My observations are that I really like your complaints letter, it is calm and pragmatic but clear about what you request. Your banding enquiry letter is less clear and I found it less easy to read than your complaint letter. I'd recommend you make it simpler and you write around three key areas -
1. Confirmation that you have been downgraded to Band C (because letter is confusing).
2. Reasons for being downgraded.
3. Your reasons for wanting relocation.
I trust this helps and Good luck.0 -
Fair comment bfb but it is probable that the letters have already gone. We might disagree with the actual wording but the main points have been covered. In any case, Kevin's letter is superior to the one from the council which has presumably been prepared by a professional person who is well-skilled (NOT!) in the art of coherent communication!
Please keep us up to date, Kevin, on future develoments."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

The Rebading Letter was sent on Monday of this week and the Complaints letter was sent Tuesday. I needed time to consider my options with the latter letter.
I have a suspicion they may find this thread if they haven’t done so already.
Poo-Poo will hit the fan then... :eek:
Thank you for your advice and support.Your tax bill is the penalty you pay for not helping the right candidates get into office.:D0 -
The resident that has made the allegation moved into the block only 4 weeks ago and I have never had any dealings or have ever spoken to him.The reason I assumed it to be the Alki is because about 2 months ago I was on my way out the door to work at 05.30 in the morning.
which is which? 4 weeks or 2 months?0 -
