MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL CT Unit rejects payment offer
I did go down to Manchester City Council to see why they had sent the bailiffs round to my flat to seize my property. The £112.33 owing was accumulated over a period of a few years, where I struggled to pay the ridicules amount that the council, through this Government, were charging those on Incapacity Benefit.
When they first wrote to me about the amount, they asked me how much I could afford. I told them that I could only afford to pay £5 per month. However, this was rejected and MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL threatened to send bailiffs. I told them that I am on benefits and cannot afford to pay the council’s heavy demand.
I could hardly believe what I was reading. I miss read it. I thought they meant I owed £20 and not that they wanted £20 per month.
I AM STILL PAYING WHAT I CAN out of the little I get off the Government. With the soaring rises of gas and electricity costs, incl. water charges, this Government is making it more and more difficult for people on benefits to live independently.
How many more are suffering the injustice of this heavy handed city council?
This afternoon, when I went to find out why Manchester City Council was sending bailiffs round to seize the little I have, they STILL REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO PAY WHAT I OWE AT £5 p/m
People I know have suggested seeing the Citizens Advice Bureau. But, if Manchester City Council won’t listen to me, what can CAB do that I couldn’t? Would the council listen to them?
I find it disgusting the way this council treats the poor on benefits and act like vicious debt collectors with no mercy!
