subjectCouncil Tax/Fwd: Complaint about Council tax complaint/Fwd: Your housing benefit enquiry <<#22175-137133#>>
mailed-bygmail.com

hide details 3:41 PM (1 minute ago)

Hi,

Liverpool City Council sent me a letter the other day, saying that they want to deduct money, from my Jobseekers Allowance.

However, those arrears are part of an ongoing complaint-case I have against the Liverpool City Council which have even been with the Parliamentary Ombudsman.

To not make this more complicated than necessary, I ask the Jobcenter to wait untill that case is settled, with withdrawing money.

I ask the Parliamentary Ombudsman for more advice regarding this case, as the Liverpool City Council have closed the complaint-file ten days after sending the long letter refered to in the forwareded e-mail, which I think is much to early, and as far as I remember it this breaches the Liverpool City Councils own Complaint Procedure.

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

at the end of last week, I recieved a long letter, about this, from the Council.

The letter was largely rubbish, I think I have to say.

I’ll try to index my complaints.

1.

You say my claim for Income Support is ‘out of date’.

Where as the Department of Work and Pensions have let me update about my finances for my business many months later.

What counts is when I get aware of what Income Support is.

I have been self-employed and I haven’t had a fixed monthly income, so I couldn’t tell you about how much I’d earn, right away.

I’m also from Norway, and don’t know about Income Support, since Norwegian newspapers don’t write about the British society in detail.

Also, my uncle in Norway, Martin Ribsskog, once told me, that a doctor had given him compensation, years later, when he didn’t know about a Government programme.

So then it should be like this, in this case as well, I think.

This with just saying ‘out of date’, is like something Balderick in Black Adder would have said.

Please don’t f*ck around, Norwegians hate being treated like that, and you are in the EU now, eighter you like it or not.

If you don’t like it then have a go at your politicians instead of having a go at normal people.

I’ve also contacted you about Income Support earlier, in 2010, but then you didn’t reply at all, you just moved my debt back from the Bailiff, or at least part of the debt, since you have kept my dept on one Bailiff account and one secret account it seems.

2.

You say that you became aware of that I was un-employed when I contacted you about Income Support, in 2010.

But I called you in November 2008 about this, so you are clearly lieing.

You probably write this so as to label me long time unemployed so that moralists are going to mess with me.

Like Baldrick in Black Adder, to get someone Christian to mess with someone, etc.

3.

You moved my debt, to be withdrawn, from my Jobseekers Allowance, in 2010, but you didn’t put all the debt, on that account.

When I moved from Liverpool, to Sunderland, earlier this year, then suddently around £500 more debt, turned up.

This means someone have messed with my Council Tax-account, I think.

Is Balderick from Black Adder working for you?

Is it the Vatican who don’t like me?

(I remember a woman standing outside of the vatican ’embassy’ in London, blowing sigarette smoke on me, when I went to the Norwegian embassy, in 2007, with an employment case against Bertelsmann Arvato Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation, which the Merseyside Police had stopped answering me about).

Are the Vatican controlling the Liverpool City Council and messing with me because I’m from a protestant country, (Norway), and making secret files there?

What’s going on?

Hi,

thank you very much for your reply!

Actually, I also think I should have gotten Income-support. Concil-Tax Benefit and Housing Allowance, from when I was Self Employed, between March 2007 and November 2008.

Since I didn’t earn that much then.

Is it any way I can please get these money now, since I have arrears now, with a lot of companies, dating back from the time I worked as Self Employed.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

the Council are charging me for Council-tax, (around £511), which I’ve paid to Jacobs Bailiff, in Birkenhead, (like the Council asked me to).

Regards,

Dear Mr Ribsskog

Thank you for your email. You still need to complain to the council first I’m afraid. If you would like to discuss the complaints process in more detail you can contact the advice team on 0300 0610614 and an advisor will try and help you.

Hi,

I was wondering, before I contact the Council.

Are you aware of that the Parliamentary Ombudsman refered me to the LGO?

I’ve already had a complaint from before, against the Liverpool City Council, and then I just sent e-mails, by the way.

Thanks in advance for clearing up about this!
Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr Ribsskog,
Thank you for your complaint against Liverpool City Council (the “Council”).
The law says that, before investigating a complaint, the Ombudsman must normally be satisfied that the Council knows about the complaint and has been given the opportunity to investigate and to reply. Usually, you need to put your complaint through all stages of the Council ’s own complaints process before the Ombudsman can look at it. The attached fact sheet explains this in greater detail.
From the information you have provided it is not clear whether your complaint has been through the Council ’s complaints process. If you have not yet done so, I suggest that you now make a formal complaint, in writing, to the chief executive of the Council. If you are still dissatisfied at the end of the process, you may complain to the Ombudsman.
If you feel that your complaint has already completed the Council ’s complaints process, please call the Advice Team on the number above. It would help if you have with you the Council ’s written response to your complaint when you call as our Adviser will ask you some questions about what the letter says.
I hope this is of assistance. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you will make a complaint to the Council, and we will not contact you again.

Yours sincerely
Angie Lecuyer
Customer Service Adviser
