Hi,

Our ref: 12 019 055                                                                                              

Please quote our reference when contacting us and, if using email, please put the reference number in the email subject header.
Dear Mr Ribsskog
Thank you for your further e-mail dated 13 February 2013 regarding your complaint against Liverpool City Council.
The law says that, before investigating a complaint, the Ombudsman must normally be satisfied that you have made a formal complaint to the Council and that it has been given an opportunity to investigate and to reply.
From the information I now have, it appears to me that the Council may not yet have had this opportunity. Therefore you must complain directly to the Council in the first instance.
The complaints process usually has 2 or 3 stages and is initiated by writing a letter of formal complaint to the Chief Executive of the council. The Ombudsman usually allows the Council 12 weeks to complete the complaints process and we do not require any further correspondence from you at this stage. Please only contact us if you have received a final response from the Council or 12 weeks have elapsed without resolution.
When the Council has completed its investigation of your complaint, and if you are unhappy with the outcome, you can then complain to the Ombudsman. You can also complain to us if you are not satisfied with the way the Council has dealt with your complaint.
If you require any assistance in making your complaint to the Council then please contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau who may be able to help.
If you are dissatisfied at the end of the complaints process, you will need to provide us with a copy of the Council’s final response and explanation as to why you remain unhappy. We will then send your complaint to our investigative team for further consideration.
Yours sincerely

Joe,

Tony and Kerry calls me Erik.

Shouldn’t they call me Mr. Ribsskog, I was wondering.

(That’s what they normally do at least).

I’m calling you Joe in this e-mail to show a point.

Hi,

I also understand that people doesn’t bother when they see problems like this, to contact the Council.

Since you are poorly organised, I think.

And I have to repeat myself all the time.

And I have to use a lot of time on this now.

Even if it isn’t in my street, (even if it’s in the same neighbourhood).

This isn’t fly-tipping, I think.

I think this a place that people in 79 City Road put their garbage as a routine, since the door to their back-yard is obstructed by garbage.

So this isn’t something they do ‘on the fly’, so to speak.

But they do this even on Monday’s, I think.

Just to try to explain more about this.

Regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

ok, it’s just that I get replies from different case-workers with you, regarding this.

I also got one from your collegue Kerry today, with a different reference-number I think.

But this is really the same case, as far as I can understand it.

Hi,

like I’ve tried to explain earlier, the photograph was from last week.

And at the beginning of this week, I only saw one garbage-bag there.

But this could perhaps be a recurring problem, (I think).

But I can update you later, if I see a heap of garbage/garbage-bags there again, on the pavement.

And you could have a look at this problem yourselves, then you’ll probably understand what’s going on there, I think.

Thanks again for the emails!

Hi,

by the way, I’ve earlier told you the exact address for this garbage-heap.

(Between 62 Ripon St. and 79 City Road).

So it’s almost in City Road, in Ripon St.

79 City Road is both in City Road and Ripon Street, so to speak.

(Since it’s on the corner of that road and street).

I think I’ve really given you enough information so that this should be possible to understand now.

So I hope you aren’t pulling my leg 🙂

And and I don’t understand why you only use my first-name, in your latest e-mails.

Normally you write Mr. Ribsskog, as I remember it.

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

like it should be possible to see on the pictures I sent you on 11/1, the garbage-bags are on the pavement.

I attach those photographs again today, (with this e-mail), in case you can’t find them.

I’m from Norway, so I’m not used with garbage bags laying on the pavement.

But I’ve seen this problem before, in Liverpool City Centre.

(But not this many garbage-bags in one heap, I think).

And I must admit I’m not sure what the UK laws says about having garbage-bags on the pavement, (and not in bins).

I can imagine that to have this much garbage stored in the street, (and not in bins), could lead to that rats easily find food.

And in Norway we look at these animals as pests.

At least I don’t think I’ve seen this much garbage in the streets in Oslo.

So that’s why I reacted and sent about this to you.

Hope this is alright!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

this was something I wrote in a PS, (or something), to my landlord, LHT.

So unfortunately, I got the street name a bit wrong.

It should have been the parallell-street to Frodsham Street, that is Ripon Street.

I checked this again today after recieving your e-mail and today it was only one garbage in, on the pavement.

(So someone have collected the ‘mountain’ of garbage-bins, which I saw there, last week).

The garbage bins are/where on the pavement outside of a garden/back-yard, which is between 62 Ripon St. and 79 City Road.

(I live in Keith Avenue, which sort of become Ripon St., when it crosses City Road).

The back-yard has a tall wooden fence, (it seemed), towards Ripon Street, and there is a gate/door, in that fence.

The door was half open, and I could see a lot of garbage, on the ground, in this back-yard.

So perhaps this back-yard is a garbage bag-store, or something, (for 79 City Road), but that the garbage, on the ground, in the back-yard, obstructs the gate/door, so that it can’t be opened, and tenants put the bins outside the store, on the pavement.

Something like this.

(I checked this a bit today, since I got the e-mail, from you at the Council.

Or else I wouldn’t have looked at this place that thoroughly).

I also send a copy e-mail to LHT, since I’ve started updateing them about this.

(So they understand that this isn’t anything to do with LHT really, I think).

Hope this was possible to understand!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Dear Erik,

To help you with this we need to ask you to provide some more details – Are the garbage-bin bags thrown in Frodsham Street still there today please? If not, when were there left them approximately? Is it next to a specific door number in Frodsham Street? This information is necessary so that the team can locate it quickly as well.

We look forward to receiving your reply.

Hi,

that’s brilliant.

There was an electrician here on the door now, regarding the lamp in the court.

I showed him which lamp it was, and he was going to take a picture of it, and get it fixed.

I explained it wasn’t to do with this flat really, but with LHT.

By the way, like you know, Keith Court is in Keith Avenue, and Keith Avenue sort of becomes Frodsham Street, when it crosses City Road.

And in Frodsham St. someone have started trowing garbage-bins on the pavement, it seems.

I guess this is to do with the Council, (or something), so I send a copy e-mail to them.

Or else the whole area is going to start to turn into a slum, I think, if people just throw the garbage everywhere.

My grandfather was a councelor, in the municipality of Hadsel, in Northern Norway, in the 60’s and 70’s, and he was on the radio, in Norway, when he quit in that job, and he didn’t like it that people threw garbage everywhere, on the mountain there, I heard when I got the radio-programme in the post, from Norway.

So I think I should complain about this a bit.

Also, I think it’s strange the electrician contacts me, (on my door), about the repair, in the comunal court/LHT-area.

He should speak with LHT about repairs in that area, I think.

That was a bit strange, I think now.

I used to be a Shop Manager in Norway.

And if one of the shops customers complained about something, I wouldn’t have sent a repair-guy on their door to ask whay they meant.

I would have talked to the repair-guy myself.

So this I thought was a bit strange.

People doesn’t want to report problems then if they have to be like LHT-staff.

How could you know I wasn’t out?

Hm.

Anyway I send the pictures from Frodsham Street.

And I hope the Council don’t have to send people on my door to sort that problem.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr Ribsskog,

Thank you for sending us copies of your recent emails to the council.

In general the Local Government Ombudsman cannot consider a complaint until the councils own complaints process has been completed.

This process usually has 2 or 3 stages and is initiated by writing a letter of formal complaint to the Chief Executive of the council.

If you remain dissatisfied at the end of this process or have already completed the complaints process, please send us a copy of the council’s final response to your complaint.

Many Thanks

subjectComplaint against Liverpool City Council/Fwd: PHSO: Reference 115058 – Your complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman
mailed-bygmail.com

hide details 2:50 PM (0 minutes ago)

Hi,
I’m following the advice of the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman, and am forwarding you the complaint I have, regarding that Liverpool City Council wants me to pay the same Council-tax twice.
Please just tell me if there is any more information I need to provide.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
Here is the complaint I sent the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman again, on 1/10:

Hi,

I got your Council Tax Bill, yesterday, at the hostell I live in, in Sunderland, after I was thrown out, from the flat I rented in Leather Lane, by the Liverpool County Court, after a process I’ve complained about to the Health and Parliament Ombudsman.

You write that I owe you £511.81 in Council-tax which you write are already subject to court procedings.

This must be the council-tax I owed from 2007 and 2008, when I was self-employed.

Like I’ve written to you earlier, I was supposed to have Income Support then, but I didn’t know about this, (I’m from Norway).

That’s why I couldn’t pay the Council-tax.

After I became unemployed, in November 2008, I’ve paid a forthnightly amount, of £10, to Jacobs Bailiff, in Birkenhead.

Who the Liverpool City Council asked me to pay.

So I have already paid the £511, to Jacobs Bailiff, but you at the Council, have lost the overview, and have done a mistake.

You can’t tell me to pay the same council-tax twice.

Thats fraud.

This reminds me of the Nigeria-letters that were in the news some years back.

So I also send a copy to the police about your fraud-crime.

When I had around £60 left of my council tax debt, from 2007 and 2008, I contacted you, about how to go forward to get Income Support for 2007 and 2008, and then you took the debt back, from Jacobs Bailiffs, after I had been paying them for years, and it only was around £60 left to pay.

Then you deducted the £60 in installments from my Jobseekers Allowance.

I thought this was odd, and since you now try to claim the money I paid to Jacobs Bailiffs, again, I suspect you are infected by communist-mafia, or something, at Liverpool City Council.

I also suspect Liverpool County Court could be infected, since they treated me un-fair I think, so I have already complained to the Parliament Ombudsman, and send a copy of this e-mail to them, as an update on the Liverpool County Court-complaint.

This is a hoax, a scam, a mafia-attack on me, and a scandal, I think.

To: “eribsskog@gmail.com”

Dear Mr Ribsskog

Our reference: EN-115058 (please quote in any future correspondence).

Thank you for your email of 1 October 2011 copied to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman regarding your complaint about Council Tax payments requested by Liverpool City Council and the actions of Liverpool County Court, part of Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service, (HMCTS).

The Ombudsman’s role
As explained previously, the Ombudsman’s role is to consider complaints about government departments, agencies and organisations where there is evidence that they have not acted properly or fairly, or have provided a poor service.

Your complaint about Liverpool City Council
You complain that Liverpool City Council have requested a payment of Council Tax. You explain that you have already paid this to Jacob’s Bailiff.

The list of departments, agencies and organisations which we are able to investigate is determined by law. Unfortunately, complaints about local councils fall outside of the Ombudsman’s remit to investigate and we are therefore unable to consider this aspect of your complaint.

You should contact the Local Government Ombudsman with your complaint, and I have included their contact details below:

The Local Government Ombudsman
PO Box 4771
Coventry

Telephone: 0300 061 0614
Email: advice@lgo.org.uk

Your complaint about Bailiffs and Liverpool County Court
From the information you have provided regarding your complaint about Liverpool County Court and Bailiffs, it seems you still need to complete HMCTS’ complaints process. Whilst I am aware that you wish to copy the Ombudsman into your emails to update her about this matter, I should explain that she is not able to consider this aspect of your complaint until you have completed HMCTS’ complaints procedure. I must also make you aware that while the Ombudsman can, in principle, investigate the administrative functions of HM Courts Service staff, she is unable to investigate matters that have been determined by a Judge, or decisions and court orders made by a Judge, or on a Judge’s instructions.

Any further correspondence relating to this complaint will be added to your file, but no further action will be taken until you have completed HMCTS’ complaints procedure. I have attached their complaints leaflet, which gives you details on how to raise a formal complaint.

I hope this information provided is of use and will help you move towards a satisfactory resolution of your complaint.

Yours sincerely

Hi,

I got your Council Tax Bill, yesterday, at the hostell I live in, in Sunderland, after I was thrown out, from the flat I rented in Leather Lane, by the Liverpool County Court, after a process I’ve complained about to the Health and Parliament Ombudsman.

You write that I owe you £511.81 in Council-tax which you write are already subject to court procedings.

This must be the council-tax I owed from 2007 and 2008, when I was self-employed.

Like I’ve written to you earlier, I was supposed to have Income Support then, but I didn’t know about this, (I’m from Norway).

That’s why I couldn’t pay the Council-tax.

After I became unemployed, in November 2008, I’ve paid a forthnightly amount, of £10, to Jacobs Bailiff, in Birkenhead.
