NEWS! The govt has just announced its changing the Council Tax Debt Collection rules on the back of @mmhpi recommendations. Here's my official quote
-----
Council Tax debt collection is so aggressive it’d make banks blush. It’s the most vicious and damaging form of legal debt collection out there - causing counterproductive misery for millions. We’ve spent the last 18 months campaigning hard to change this hideous system, and having seen so much pain caused by it, I’m genuinely moved by this huge first step towards making things better.
Currently, in England, if you miss a monthly payment, many councils, within usually 3 weeks, demand payment for the entire year. How people who can’t find a month’s money are expected to find a year’s I don’t know. Yet if they can’t pay, within just three more weeks, they are often taken to court, have ‘admin costs’ added, and soon see bailiffs sent in. No commercial firm would be allowed to do anything close - constituents are treated worse than customers.
The new rule from next April means councils must wait two months, not 3 weeks, to ask for a year’s money, and the ‘admin costs’ will be capped at £100. In a perfect world, it would be even longer and the lower cap would apply, but this is still a hugely welcome change to a 33-year-old process. For councils too, it is worth remembering that this grotesque system is often catastrophic for people’s finances and wellbeing, leaving many needing more help and support, and ultimately the same council having to pick up the pieces.

@JamesMelville If you have flu, it hurts to move your eyes. How the hell you get dressed and open the door is beyond me!!

@RalphHands1065 You can't even move your eyes let alone get out of bed if you have flu!!

On average, a person will get flu twice in their lifetime. I had flu when I was about 15, I remember lying in bed 🛏 and my mum asking me if I feel like having something to eat after about 4 days in bed, I said I could manage some soup. Next time my mum came into my room, I said "where's the soup?", she said, "that was two days ago!". Flu is awful, completely wipes you out. There was a woman being interviewed on the news this morning, who says she has flu, she couldn't go to work, so worked from home 🏡. . . impossible!! People think a cold ❄ or a bad cold is flu. . not so!! Of course the scaremongering from the TV 📺 makes people believe that if they have the sniffles. . it must be flu, and "super flu" at that!!!! They are falling for basically the same böllöx as they did in the "covid scamdemic", they'll never learn!
