I despair now. I know you wont believe this. But it is true. I enclose my last letter I just sent to the New Forest District Council. This is all perfectly true. Someone inside this council is determined to ruin my life and who knows why? Heres my letter anyway. Thankyou for reading, desperation has made me post here with no worries for the consequences. Dear Dianne, (Council Tax Office, New Forest District Council) I thought it might be only fair to advise you that I am currently being observed by legal authority and I need to inform you that your judgement regarding "National Minimum Wage" is information illegally exists against my name. The reason for this is that countless business account papers of mine have been delivered to the New Forest District Council via one MB but despite so many copies the women there are still unable to assess the simplicities of a business running on a loss at the end of the financial year but instead (as declared by MB) have "Thrown their hands up in the air (!!!) because they could not make head or tail of my figures (Three versions of which SHE formulated and assured me they would be "fine") and have "GUESSTIMATED" my income as being , Not three or four figures in the minus, but rather 5 figures in the plus. That means instead of having run on a loss of almost £1000 for the last financial year, they have fictionalised that I was on about £11,563:05. Not by calculation or deduction of data delivered to them in seven formats!!!! but because they "didnt know what else to do with it all." The implications of this fiction against my name are as follows. They have already been shown my tax submission form to the HMRC who now view their sumary by the nfdc as contradictory to their records against my name. The penalties for this are Prison, triple their estimated tax contribution they deem payable and several thousand pounds for fraud and not disclosing accurate data to the countries taxation system. So you see, on top of the inability for one department there to communicate with the other I am still awaiting their decision on my housing benefit which, in the case of Salisbury, was a simple 8 week pause before they assessed my accounts. In this instance the game has been played and seems to be a hate-project now to the point where threats, letters of inaccurate demand, ludicrously varied data filled out by MB and an inability to assess simple accounting data has resulted in an issue which is set to destroy two business ventures of a 52 year old man who is desperately trying to set up business in the hope that he can be free of poverty in this recession and legitimately employ others to run a successful operation again. It doesn't look good. On top of this there is a company debt I owe to pay the rent here for £6000:00 I took out in advance on your assurances that I was promised would be due when my assistance from the Council was assessed and until I was able to support myself alone finally. With Your bailiffs and prison threats, THEIR bailiffs and Prison Threats, the HMRC's Prison and threats and now a band of clerks in the council rooms gaming my life into hardship on top of the strain it has put on my relationship with my Lady I am being backed into a very dangerous corner or no return here where possessions, livelihood, family and freedom and liberties are being stripped away from me because.... (as I have been informed by an insider there who sympathises and I quote) "Nobody here (At the nfdc) has any idea about accounts, no training or qualifications at all". They went on to say, "If you turned up drunk, were a Muslim, polish or a single mother they would pay out the money with no restraints." They then went on to say, "Youre dealing with a couple of man haters. It would probably be best of you left town to another Council altogether." I know you're simply doing your job but I do ask that you telephone me at the earliest opportunity because currently there are three illegal moves that have been made against me not including the removal of my cooking facilities last year where unknowingly I moved into a tiny flat that the owners had NOT declared to the councils. As punishment they made them remove my cooker and said "I" would be fined if I was caught cooking food in my flat above a garage outside away from the main house. The New Forest District Council then said that I was to cook food in the owners kitchen , walk back to the garage outside rain snow or night, with my dinner in one hand and a drink in the other, climb up a spiral staircase in total darkness and eat my food or entertain guests in this fashion because the flat had NOT been declared to them by the owners and therefore it was not legal for me to cook food there by their decision." The fact is they should have stated that it was when my tenancy was to be renewed that any cooking facility was to be removed. The way this entire scenario has been handled now with FOUR illegal moves against my name I have lost confidence in this councils inability to see a tiny string of accounts, the actual bank statements, the actual bank activity of my business, the actual personal accounting activity of my life and STILL come up with a "GUESSTIMATE" that I have earned "11,563:05 when there is absolutely no record OR evidence that my accounts have run anything but to the figure of -£1000:00 MINUS for the last finnacial year. This has been going on since January this year and 6 months later they STILL haven't decided. I hope you read all this. My appreciations if you did. Sincerely, N. Armstrong.
