Sorry to be thick, can't help it, actually having more luck on social media than the stupid council website. Will contact a councillor in the morning.

There is nothing on my council's website - probably due to election and results, must be updating it..P.S I don't drink, so won't be buying special brew. I may live in a council flat but I am NOT scum. I am hoping to buy it someday, hence the panic if this all goes to court it won't look good on my credit file...

It won't go to court !!!!!!!

Let's assume it did though - what do YOU think the judge will do when you present him with your letter from the council admitting THEY had made a mistake ?

Now stop worrying, speak to your councillors and above all start IGNORING C2C.

!!!!!! Maisie, get a grip, all you have to do is ignore them from now on. Ignore their threats, their 'phone calls, their red ink, their letters from dodgy solicitors.

You are a Council tenant, they are interfering with your "quiet enjoyment" of your property, a legal right. Get on to your Housing Officer and ask him/her to help.

Have got onto the housing officer by telephone - will be backing this up in writing, and found contact details for a coucillor - facebook - council website is USELESS. I think I shall just return any letters to C2C after sending a copy to the housing officer first. I think I shall become a stubborn nuisance and send C2C invoices for my time spent reading said letters and for postage incurred!!

Sorry to panic, I really thought they had more power than they do.....

Don't even waste time returning C2C letters. Just file them away.

Coupon-mad

Don't waste any more time on this, just ignore them and please please please don't post here every time you get a stupid Debt Recovery Plus letter. Google them instead, we don't need any more 'eeek I have got a debt recovery letter and I think it's a bailiff and I need urgent advice because I hadn't thought of Google searching a phrase from the letter' threads - never again, no thanks. Read all the hundred thousand other threads about them but please don't start a thread about it.

You are really not going to cope well with the tediously boring DRP letter chain are you? Please spare us and look it up in advance - as in just search here on the forum for those words 'Debt Recovery Plus' and Google them too. Be ready, relax and bear in mind you will get the letters chain and we don't want to hear about them (sorry but just read other threads and you will know why I have had it up to 'here' with DRP letters).

UPDATE = Posted all the junk C2C sent me demanding money to the housing officer along with the letter he sent me saying that it was THEIR admin error, also sent an email to a local councillor, I had a phone call today from the housing officer saying that he was going to "try" to get the "invoice" cancelled as C2C's employer and will let me know the "outcome".

The only outcome will be that I am NOT paying it!!! So, this has me thinking if I get it in writing from the council that they have cancelled the invoice from their end it will no longer be legal for C2C to demand money from me?? If this is the case I will let them have their day in court:j I personally have never entered into any agreement with C2C so they can go swing....

You're showing some real steel here maisie06. Stick with it, good on you!

Great to read.

maisie06

Yep - took a deep breath - read the advice on here and "grew a pair"!!!! They can !!!! off and take a long jump off a short pier, they are NOT having a penny out of me, legaglised criminality if you ask me. Don't get me wrong we need regulations in the car park to stop the public parking there and going off to town or worse - to catch the London train, but we don't need bullies intimidating the residents, I think the best way is a barrier and a residents card to stick in the slot...but hey ho, boils down to money...
