mrsspendalot

I am in Band A and my payments have gone up from £17 a week over 12 months to £21 a week over 10 months. Not sure what % increase that is.

Ouch!

Stilll awaiting my letter will probably get it tommorrow though or later in the week Im dreading it now..........

Iwantmorecash

ours has gone up 5.3%

and the bigest increase within that is the police who have put up their section by 12%..............
we have lived here for 18 months and have never seen a police man

Mine's gone up by £5 per month. When I list all my outgoings it stands out (apart from my rent) as the highest by a long way, but it is the only one I can do nothing about.:mad:
My banding is correct and I get a single adult discount.

I've not got my letter yet either. That will be something to look forward to this week then....

We're in Band A, and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be if it was re-assessed, so I'll just pay it without moaning too much lol!

Although the fortnightly bin collection 'scandal' is making me laugh a bit - that's a regular occurrence around here anyway. In fact, last summer we had to wait 3 weeks on two seperate occasions. The bins stank and were surrounded by flies.....shudder......

Ours has gone up by 4.9% but because we were playing "catch up" last year for a month when we changed our bank account and missed the payment date, our actual monthly payment will be going down £35 from £202 to £167 which is just as well because my gas and electricity has gone up by £80 a month!!!!!

Aj_eye

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I hate this !!!!!! Mine is now a whopping £1215.99

Its up 5% on last year and I'm mad !!!!!!!! Its been steadly going up since we boought the place in 2004

We live in an ex-council 2 bed flat in Welwyn garden city, Hertfordshire..... and for that we don't even get the communal areas cleaned.. I have to do it myself......(and that includes cleaing up after someone did a 'number 2' in the stairwell)...

I just don't know how I can get value for my money....!!!!!

*zippy*

£1333 up £6.50 a month.

Luckily a neighbour complained last year and we benifited and were dropped a band, dread to think what it would be otherwise .

How do these bands work? I always thought it was house value, but I know for a fact that a band F in Westminster pays less than me (band B in Bristol)

Ours has gone up 4.7% to £1107.39...time to take out that 2nd mortgage.
