More Council Tax Fun and Games

South Glos Council are still at it. I've furnished them all the information I need to furnish as to why their statutory council tax is unlawful. Here's their reply........

"Thank you for your email of the 7^th January 2012. Pleaseaccept my apologies for the delay in replying.

I am investigating your point with regards to your letter dated 14^thMarch 2009 and will revert to you shortly.

In respect of the non-payment of Council Tax I can only state thatthis Authority deals with non-payment in line with current legislation. Thereis no consent required by you or anyone else and therefore the optionsavailable to the Council in the event of non payment include the means previouslymentioned.   

In the circumstances confirmation of your current correspondencedetails would help matters so that I may write to you indetail."


The last paragraph is the kicker though isn't it? They want my "correspondence details - aka my address! Now why would I want to help them with their "matters"?

South Glos has never cooperated with me regarding the abovetherefor I have no wish to cooperate with it. Also, I do not reside at xxxxxxxxxxx and my whereabouts are private and are no business of yours.

Furthermore, go take your threats of “bankruptcy proceedings”and “committal to prison” to some other easily intimidated poor sap who maytake you seriously – I don’t!  

Council Tax legislation is a statute that only has force byconsent.  For the record, I have no wish to be bothered by you again nordo I consent to any of your requests. Kindly refrain from emailing/harassing meany further and all communication regarding this or any other matter will ceaseforthwith.

Mr xxxxxx

Please confirm your alternative contact details; property addressand telephone number, and I will contact you by this method rather than thisemail address.

I have an address for you of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx so unless Ireceive further contact I may send correspondence to you care of this property.

As the Council has been unable so far to make payment arrangementswith you I regret the next step will either be bankruptcy proceedings or anapplication to the Magistrates Court for committal to prison, as per currentCouncil Tax legislation. To avoid this course of action I need an arrangementfrom you to clear the balance outstanding.

In the circumstances I would begrateful for your cooperation on this matter and look forward to hearing fromyou as a matter of urgency so that we may resolve this situation without theneed for the above course of action.

Yours sincerely

xxxxxx
