So angry!

[annwfyn]

I just got a stroppy letter from Southwark County Council.

It appears that there was a system error two years ago, which resulted in the 3QoD household being undercharged £300 on our final council tax bill when we moved out.

This error was only picked up 15 months ago.

They only bothered writing to me to demand the £300 on April 9th.

They would now like the £300 asap. In fact, they need it by the end of April, or they will have to take further action. I may appeal this in writing, but normally they don't accept staggered payments on closed accounts.

I spoke to someone called Jennifer at the Call Centre. She wouldn't give me her last name. I think I may have shouted at her rather a lot.

Still seething in anger.

I want to kill them. I want to kill them all.

I like this. And you know, I don't think it's that unreasonable to throw away statements like this. I think I'd be hosed for my last council tax bill.

Also, have a quick word with the CAB. If you need a longer word you can book time with their free duty solicitor (the Edinburgh flavour saved me several thousand pounds a few years back). I think if you propose payment terms as you can't pay they are more or less duty bound to accept, but I have been out the UK for a reasonably long time now.

And, argh - to crap councils. When Edinburgh tried to overcharge me by several hundred I found fuck off I don't have to pay the previous owners council tax arrears a useful phrase :)
