Re: Coventry Council Apologises for Threatening Bankruptcy for £42.50!!

Sorry all for late reappearance. I've had a very busy couple of weeks starting in my new job.

I'm glad to see that the 'apologies' have been received and that they say they will review their letters.

Ive tried several times to contact Les Reid at The Coventry Telegraph, with no success.

May have missed this previously so apologies if it is a repeat. What have your local Councillor(s) said about this debacle? Also have you involved the Leader of the Council?

Had no reply from local councillor, other than an automated reply to say it was received.
No reply from the CEO a the council either.

No it isn't the CEO it is the leader of the Council who is an elected member + chase your Councillor up and do you not have more than one.

Good advice from PT Cornish Pasty. You need to keep the bit between your teeth over this and see it through. Those letters are really the start of your revenge as they admit their guilt (and liability) in the issue.

I don't owe Newlyns anything.
What exactly am I writing in the letters?
I am just bringing to their attention the wrong doing's of CCC and Newlyn plc or am I trying to obtain some form of compensation?
ANy further advice would be much appreciated

It appears the power above has managed to make headline news disapear now
The BBC article this morning
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23770628
had contact details for any one who had experienced problems highlighted in the article to contact the BBC, two hours later the contact section had been removed and now the whole post as vanished from the BBC news site.

Something tells me they do not what the public exposing their practices further

Hi CP,

Have you done anything about post 145 yet?

Have you done anything personally about contacting local or national press and other media? I think you will devote more time to it than LB is able to.

I am out of my depth, I don't know what to write or say

Re: Newlyn Bailiffs RE: Council Tax

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, the sharks are circling again.

This arrived this morning, even though the council was paid a while back and I have been in constant contact with Newylns regarding their inflated fees, including telling them I would be clearing the balance on 1st August when I get paid, they still insist nothing has been paid, now threatening bankcruptcy, which apparently they have been intructed to do by their client, Coventry City Council

For £42.50 FFS, there having a laugh, thought it had to be at least £750

I need a strong worded letter if someone could oblige please, to inform the council of this outfits business practices.

I feel a bit guilty as this was your first post, and 7 whole pages later we don't seem to have got anywhere for you, other than a veiled apology. IF (a BIG 'If' as my memory is appalling due to an illness) I remember tomorrow, I'll draft something for you. Please forgive me in advance if I forget! :beagle:
