Hi I have joined this in the hope that someone out there can help me. This is a long story so please dont go I recieved a commital to prison letter in may of this year for a poll tax bill, yes poll tax 1989/1990 and community charge bill for the year 1990/1991 amounting to £184.00. I got in touch with Liverpool City Council and asked what this was about as I was then in full time employment, working FOR LIverpool City Council and paying my poll tax through attachment of earnings. They then said that it was my resposibility to make sure I was paying enough and as I was not (according to them) it is my fault. As I have not kept bills or reciepts for18 years I have NO way of proving I paid enough so asked them to send out a statement. I recieved the statement and on it was another bill for 1994 for council Tax to the amount of £115.00. I pointed out about the statute of limitations law that says you can not claim a dept over 6 years unless it has a liability order on them and apparently they have (ALL NEWS TO ME.) I then got a visit off the baliffs and because I have told the council that I am fighting this through the C.A.B. My costs are going up and the baliffs are being not very nice, and to top it off I have just heard from the C.A.B. that Liverpool City Council are now saying I owe nearly £900.00 from the year 1989 until the year 1996. I relise that I have a huge battle ahead of me this has been going on since may, as I will be taking on the goverment. The reason being that when the statute of Limitations law was put in to force it was obviously voted on by our mps and Lo and behold who is exempt from that law. 1) Council Tax 2) Benafits 3) Income Tax and Tax Credits all goverment related. I know I am getting a bit on my high horse and losing the plot as I need to sort out my council tax first BUT I thought it was us who run the country not the goverment that ran us. I don't remember it being a dictatorship. So before I go in to that battle (with I hope an army) I need to know if anyone knows of anything I can do over this council tax dept that I knew nothing about. Please Please help if you can I would really be very grateful. Boda:?
