Aberdeen council charges

Hi
Hope this is the right section, but i have just recieved an invoice from aberdeen city council for lifting carpet grippers after i had moved from my old house, we did think there might be some charges, but £480 for lifting grippers there must be something i can do as there is no way i can afford this and how can the amount be justified.

Regards Garry

    Write to them to justify the cost. It does sound as though they are taking rise.

    hopefully someone can help but for future reference- find the nearest traveller illegal encampment and dump any stuff there. Aberdeen Council will pick it up for free.
