Warrington borough council
Im not one for ranting usually, but this morning I received a threat of legal proceedings against me for non payment of council tax. So I rang the council to point out that I am in fact up to date, the response I got was this
''oh yes, we know you are up to date, in fact our records show you genearally pay it up to 3 weeks early'' so why am I being threatened with legal action ? cos I cancelled my direct debit with them cos I prefferred to pay it early and that is classed as a ''default'' so even though Im paid up for Novemeber and will be paying Decembers next week, Im still being threatened with the courts...Should of stayed in St Helens. |

Re: Warrington borough council
The swines. I pay mine every month and Liverpool council have sent me a letter claiming I am late paying. Not the brightest bunch are they?

Re: Warrington borough council
Shocking that......I pay mine by direct debit, and you pay for 10 months of the year and 2 months you dont pay Feb and March?
Why did you cancle the direct debit out of interest? surely its easier that way?

Re: Warrington borough council
This is another one like the thread about road tax, paid but they claim you haven't.
I'm with the others, if I knew absolutely 100% I was in the right, I'd just tell them I'll see them in court.

Re: Warrington borough council
Personally, I'd let them take me to court. When it gets thrown out, counter claim.

Re: Warrington borough council
Would that not go down as a CCJ on your credit history, whether or not you were found in the right/wrong.
How do things like that work? I have a spot on credit rating would be gutting to knacker it just because you wanted to play games......just something to think about.
