Council tax possibly void
Hi gang, I have an unusual case. I moved into an apartment 4 years ago and the agency gave the wrong surname for me to the council. Despite my best efforts to tell them my correct name, they continued to chase me in the wrong name. I never paid the council tax on that basis. They took the wrong name to court and sent each year a notice of liability order. June this year I left the property and have been homeless since. My formal address is a local homeless shelter. Today I went to collect my post to find the council have written to me again in the wrong name but now at the homeless shelter. They have somehow obtained my details. Firstly if the order is on the wrong name surely its void,? and secondly is this a data breach?

Thank-you. I will use that information as I am going to write to the section 151 officer and ask them to set the account to £0 as I can't settle it anyway.

@Checkmate Attendee it's not so simple with the council. They will use the notion that as I lived there I should pay and that an incorrect name is a minor administrative error. We are dealing with crooks and criminals. I need as solid as a case that I can get.
Pra group WIN 🥳
Huge thank you to @Peter Wilson for the help needed to fight these parasites 🙏 Well yesterday was the final hearing on my Barclays debt which pra group bought my personal information. I was lucky to have pra help my case by not adhering to a court order of supplying the deed of assignment they said previously they had They were supposed to send a copy to myself by the 26th nov but nothing turned up They tried to give me a copy just before the hearing which I basically told her to shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. Regret that now as I wish I’d of seen all the bullshit they put together which the judge noticed didn’t even have my name on any of it just an amount and an account number amongst quite a few pages basically telling the judge to join all the dots ! He turned to me and said it looks like you’re going to have an easy afternoon mr sibson which made my day ! Peter had fantastically put together a fee schedule which pra solicitor challenged but the judge added another days rate to it and increased it from £325 to £410 costs, she tried to ask for 28 days to pay which he actually laughed at and said no you have 14 days to pay him so a great win. I held the door for her on the way out and said lovely to meet you which I’m pretty sure she knew I was taking the piss !! Stand up and fight everyone, it’s not an easy ride but you have to do it ! Thanks everyone for all your support too, a fantastic community ❤️ Cheers Gary 😎

Hi Gary, I have the same with PRA, Lowell and Cabot. What videos should I watch please? I am going to ask them to agree to set it aside because of the impact of the ccjs.

@Peter Wilson I was wondering if we could refer to it and others like it in our correspondence.
ULEZ
Hi Folks, despite being on autopay I have a ULEZ charge. I have read the comments etc. I noticed on this new charge the warnings if the charge is not paid. This looks like threats and coercion. Any thoughts welcome.
