MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL bailiffs - Update
I rang the MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL bailiffs this morning and had to leave a message. I told them that I had been awarded Council Tax Benefit. I also told them that I am unwilling to pay, seeing that I refuse to steal the money or pay it in installments, and that they can come and take my goods away.
If they take my old furniture and other things, I can then apply to the Department of Work & Pensions and put a in a new claim for new furniture. To replace the junk the Manchester City Council bailiffs will take.
The real loser here is the tax payer. All thanks to either incompetence of Manchester City Council’s Council Tax Unit not updating Jacobs Certified Bailiffs or this Government wanting to make the poor very poor indeed.
Either way.. if I am still paying my council tax, then why am I being victimised by this council? If it really is a Manchester City Council error, then it is the British tax payer that will, in the end, foot the bill. Why should I worry and make my condition worse over this? This type of thing can make even the healthiest person sick and I am sick & tired of this Sheriff of Nottingham style Government treating us poor like this. They’re not going to put me in an early grave!
Do you remember that time when a certain council took a pensioner to jail over this? This was the Government again, making sure that the poor, the needy, the vulnerable of our society is worse off - without a voice.. until the press got wind of it. Well, I, too, have a voice and I’m going to SHOUT!
You may think, ‘Why doesn’t he write to his MP, Tony Lloyd?’
Glad you asked! I did. All he did was write to the HB&CTB and all they did was to send an officer around to check that it was really me living here - he did nothing to bring it to Parliament and try to change the way Councils and the DofW&P takes back the money given to the poor. Twice when I complained to Tony Lloyd MP all I got was a visit from HB&CTB. When I ring him, his secretary is very rude to me.
1 in 5 people in the North West claim Incapacity Benefits. That’s 1 million people out of 5 million - that is a lot of voters.
I’ll laugh at the next letter I receive from Jacobs as well.
