Stikkord: Liverpool City Council

I'm referring to your letter, from 9/3, which I received earlier this week.

It says that £592.21 of last years Council Tax, is subject to Court Proceedings.

I wondering a bit what you mean with this.

Since I've been unemployed, during the recession, unfortunately.

(Even if I've tried to start an e-business, and more).

And I've had Council Tax Benefit, (as far as I've understood), since 2008.

So how can there be any Court Proceedings, in connection with last years Council Tax then?

(It's always said amount due: £0.00, since 2008, on the Council Tax-bills, as far as I can remember, at least).

Could you please explain more about this to me?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Yours sincerely,

I'm refering to the letter from Mr. Anthony Nugent, from 30/3, with ref: 10055749.

He writes that my Landlord has proven I'm in more than eight weeks arrears.

But, the Landlord haven't given me a contract, so I think it isn't clear, what my rent is, and therefore not clear how much the arrears are.

(I've capped the Housing Benefit with around £30 a month since I have to do electricity work, on the bath etc., myself, since the Landlord don't do repairs, or at least are very slow with doing them, and ignore my complaints.

I've also had to buy a new washing machine etc., since the Landlord didn't fix the old one, which was here when I moved in, when it broke down.

But I haven't capped the Housing Benefit with as much as eight weeks rent, more like three or four weeks rent, for 2010, I'd say.

So I think these figures must be inacurate.

Especially since we don't really know what we are discussing here.

The Landlord haven't given me a contract, (for some reason), since 2005, so I don't really exactly know what the rent is, I only pay what I can afford).

I wanted to complain on that the Council accepts the Landlord, (Imperial Properties/T.J. Thomas), figures, even if there are no contract which can document that these figures are right.

So I think it's uneccesarry use of power, from the Council, to safe-guard against me, I think, since I haven't been irresponsible, or anything, I pay all my other bills on time, and according to a budget I'm on, in co-operation, with the CCCS.

But the problem is that the Landlord don't do repairs, and don't give me a contract, for some reason.

So to blame this on me needing to be safe-guarded against, is like a Kafka-process, I think, that old Stalin would have been proud of.

I hope you can freeze the payments of the Council Tax, to Imperial Properties, untill I have been given a contract, and it's settled how much I really owe in arrears.

I have another dispute with them as well, (which I've updated the Council about), and that's about the bins.

They are in the bin-store of the restaurant Lady of Mann, and are only accessable when the restaurant is open, and one have to walk passed a lot of restaurant-guests, to throw ones litter, because if one put it by the gate, of the restaurant, then the Council don't like that, but send complaints to the Landlord, who complains to the tenants.

The Landlord claims the bins are accessable 24 hours, but they aren't at all, only when the restaurant-staff has open the gate for the beer-garden there.

Also, the Landlord didn't fix the boiler, for two years almost, in 2007 and 2008, I think it was.

So I think this should be like a compensation-case, because they must have done this to punish me, or something.

But I really think the Housing Benefit should be sent to me.

And then I can put it on a bank-account, untill I get a contract.

And untill the Landlord and I have agreed on how much the arrears are.

I don't think I really have any arrears, since the Landlord have 'messed' with me, a lot, then I should have compensation, which should cancel out the arrears, at least.

Hope you agree with me on this!

Yours sincerely,
