Re: LGO upholds a complaint against Bailiffs collecting Council Tax

.........She notes the action the Council and the bailiffs have taken in acknowledging they were wrong and withdrawing the fees. Given this and taking into account the complainant’s failure to pay his council tax, she does not consider that any further remedy is needed in this case.

How much do these useless parasites cost the tax payer each year?

It is ex-council chief executive types that occupy top paying positions in the LGO; this is what really rubs salt in the wound.
