Being screwed by council tax

Think about it for a minute. They do council tax court cases in batches of hundreds, possibly thousands.
Whilst I take your point, this is precisely why councils make mistakes in this area.
And why when proven to have erred, its very costly to the local authorities concerned.
Given the reputational damage - as well as financial in terms of credit scores - you'd hope orgs would take more care.
In the past 3 months, there's been several instances of PLCs and councils obtaining CCJs and writing to the wrong address respectively.
I have no idea whether this is what happened to the OP but I trust the matter will be referred to the Local Govt Ombudsman.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0 -

I have PROVEN to Woking Borough Council that in fact THEY owe me money because I paid too much. This I would have also proven to the Courts, if they allowed a FAIR TRIAL."
I also contacted WBC & Guildford Magistrates Courts, BY PHONE, EMAIL & LETTER & informed them that I did NOT receive a Summons to appear in Court & also filed a signed & stamped SATITUARY DECILARATION to confirm that I did not receive a Summons date & requested a re-trial, and again and again a re-trial was refused!
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RE-TRIAL, WAS AGAIN & AGAIN, REFUSED, EVEN THOUGH I DENIED OWING ANY MONEY, I DENIED RECEIVING A SUMMONS DATES & EVEN THOUGH I PUT IN A SIGNED & STAMPED SATITUARY DECILARATION ???
After demanding & harassing me for over three years, to the point of suicide, for more than £3700.00, WOKING BOROUGH COUNCIL has finally admitted that in fact I am due a refund as I over paid on my Council Tax.
They have spent hundreds of pounds of public money in sending me threatening letters, Council Tax demands & Court Orders, when in fact I did not owe any money to them & they already had all the information from me.
I gave WBC ALL the information about myself, being single, living alone & on what benefits I was claiming from day one. I HAVE PROVEN THIS TO THE COUNCIL.
They even claimed(in their attempt to steal money from me) that I did not apply for Council Tax Benefits, for the year 2016/2017, until JULY 2016, this turned out to be another LIE, as I then put in front of them a WBC receipt confirming that my application was handed in on APRIL 2016.(within the official time limit).
Can someone please tell me how is it that even though I informed WOKING BOROUGH COUNCIL & GUILDFORD MAGISTRATES COURTS that I did not receive a Summons/Trial date & even after putting in a SIGNED & STAMPED(by me & a Solicitor)SATITUARY DECILARATION a re-trial of my case was REFUSED by both Woking Borough Council & Guildford Magistrates Courts???
GUILDFORD MAGISTRATES COURTS ARE NOW REFUSING TO REPLY TO ANY OF MY EMAILS, REQUESTING INFORMATION ON MY SO CALLED TRIAL & ARE NOW TOTALLY SILENT ON THIS MATTER.
As far as I am concerned a ONE SIDED, CORRUPT trial took place behind locked doors, without me even being there & I have been found guilty of non payment of Council Tax, that I have now 100% PROVEN I do NOT owe.
This is what happens when CORRUPT organisations conspire to steal money from innocent people.
Regards.
I stand by what I have said, with PROOF.

I think there was a post made this morning that's since been deleted. It now looks like Lioness Twinkletoes randomly resurrected the thread when it was someone else.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
