Because if we do anything with the word "French" in it, we'll need everyone elses help!
Steed, me and my entire family are in your corner. Infact, a few months back, my dad upped and refused to pay the full council tax amount because our binbags were forgotten about 7 times that month. They threatened us with legal action, but my dad just replied in a simple letter:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Just as I would not pay the full price for a car with no wheels, I shall not pay full price for half-assed services.
Yours Sincerely,
Keith Phillips
Havent heard from them since. Guess they figured the cost'd be too high to take a HGV driver to court :rotfl: |
Well that one can come back and bite you hard in the arse, they wont forget it i can assure you that, our council is in full radio and mobile phone communication with all its crews we are allowed to leave late refuse ie people who put thier bags out after we have been through, and also we are allowed to leave bags that are not outside the property as we are not allowed to enter anyones property period.
Whats more the cost of taking a HGV driver to court is minimal it would all be tax payers money so you would only be paying for yourself to go to court.
Another thing is if you broke down your council tax bill as our manager in our place did he outlined everything we pay, we found that out of the 212,000 properties in our area each property pays just £6.95 for thier refuse service (that doesnt even pay my wage for one hour! im on £9.78 an hour)
So if your dad stopped the payment by £100 he is still liable because your council tax also pays for things like the police service in your area fire ambulence and also and hospitals and NHS trusts.
They may have "forgot" about it but the thing is they do let that happen to ride on the intrest so if he held back £100 in 3 or 4 months time with the intrest rates around 30% he will have a court order put on him to pay that plus the intrest and charges.
Sadly ive seen many people be done over by the same system.
