Southwark Council did similar to my daughter. When we worked out the payments in and out it worked out the they owed my daughter £12. That was with the dates in and out as we paid them. But when they worked it out it worked out that she owed them £12. Why because the dates were different to as when they cashed the moneys and not when they were paid in. Twelve months piles and piles of letters and threats. And the Council had been using CREATIVE ACCOUNTING. 👺👺👺

Because of constant harassment and physical threats from a neighbour, a friend of mine was given a panel move by their local authority, they were offered a house within the same district, but in a different part of town. On the day my friend went to view the property they were offered the keys. What my friend was NOT told by the ladies from the letting department was they would be responsible for the rent and council tax on both properties. My friend moved into their new property in February the rent balance from the old property was transferred to the new, in May my friend received a Court summons for non payment of Council tax my friend was being charged four days full council tax for the time they recieved the keys to the time they moved in. At NO point had my friend been sent letters by the council, emails or ANY notification that Council tax was due on the new property the first they knew of it was the Court summons, and because they had not been notified the 4 days charge had been inflated to over £80 plus another hundred and something Court costs, in all the total came to nearly £300, the notification also came with the threat of a bailif coming to take property to the value of the debt. My friend has referred this to the ombudsman.

Council Tax Property Valuation £1,000,000 Council Tax £2,900 Property Valuation Tax Property Valuation £1,000,000 Property Valuation Tax 0.5% = £5,000 1% = 10,000 2% = 20,000 As you can see from those sort of figures, it would mean that a lot of people would have to downsize? Thus stripping money off larger properties, and at the same time maybe increasing the value of much smaller properties? Then you would be back to square one? Then again Labour don't care.
