What other service provider, business or company, once you have paid them, can treat you as bad, as a local authority. With any other company, service provider etc, you would jump ship and go elsewhere. But of course, you can't with a local authority, can you. They will take your council tax, take approx 30% of it for their own cosy pension schemes, and then ignore you. Unanswered phones. Un returned emails. I even sent a letter in along side a cheque for my garage rent. No answer to my letter. Rang up to query this and operator said letter was never received,despite cheque being cashed! That, in my eyes make the council devious and liars. Truly truly awful. Zero star rating.
