Silently Cancelled My Payments, Then Issued Fines

Last year, I updated the ownership structure of my properties (still owned by me), with no changes to my bank account or the direct debit details.

Unbeknownst to me, Auckland Council decided to cancel my automatic payments—without any notification whatsoever. No email, no letter, no alert.

The res...

Many businesses were impacted 2 days running by inconsiderate council workers resealing a street in Remuera blocking off the only parking in the area, Thanks to you I've made no money in my shop. I did however have visitors off a cruise ship drop in and complain that the city has so much road works...

Service at council is generally very poor BUT I received fantastic assistance from one person. There was a problem with the inorganic collection - some items having been left behind. I spoke to one female staff member (the third to last call) who was totally and spectacularly unhelpful.

The se...

I followed directions as per their website for rates refunds. It took 10 working days for them to acknowledge content of email and now I have been told another 10 working days to action. Interesting that when they want money out of the general public payment is required also immediately. Perhaps we ...

Have lodged repeated noise complaints about a neighbour who works on his boat every Sunday, and sometimes more frequently. This has been going on for years. The 'process' is to call, lodge the complaint, receive a number, then call back 30 minutes later after which they are supposed to take action. ...

Beware of applying for jobs here. It has absolutely nothing to do with skills and finding the best person for the job. It has to do with favouritism and nepotism. A Daniel Yang who calls himself a " Talent Acquisition Consultant" in other words he works in the hiring department (Human Resources) put...

Auckland council has increased the properites CV just to increase the rate payment. The council & NZ government do not have proper solutions apart from increasing rates & living costs on people.
There is no single logic request we have asked the council without getting declined with some excuses!

The following remarks are directed at Unitary Plan Team.

Credibility is a must-have attribute for people in ANY positions. A small number is enough to give a tainted view of the whole Council Staff. Having those bad ones can potentially jeopardize the smooth running of the Council and consequentl...
