The domestic dwelling needs to be looked at most certainly .

There is no actual law to say we have to pay council tax , only LGFA 1992 that says they can collect it .

They Bill you for services you are using , even if you don't have some of them .

My friend John Gilbert the founder of the Community Assembly of the British isles has sent the council a letter saying he will pay the bill as soon as the council sends him the breakdown of the services and the cost of each one , so he can choose which he wants or find a cheaper alternative .

It is our right to choose what we buy is it not .

The council have been stumped by this response and still have not replied to John , only sending in enforcement agents , that have been unsuccessful every time .

No debt , as there is no contract , still no response from the council .

We are not expected to go into a shop and forced to buy a product or products just because we are there .

So the council can not force us to buy from them either , just because we are there .

I don't mind paying for my bins , it is a service that I require and are happy with .

More people need to start questioning .

And just to add .

The CT money goes into a central government fund before a percentage gets dished out to the council .

Do an FOI .

I love this article and have shared. Thank you so much. Can i just say one little thing (not a criticism) that it's "mendacious entities have preyed upon", not prayed. And the sentence that begins "In order to make it progressively easier..." is slightly too long to get your head around. There could be a comma after both judges and a full stop after required. But like i said, fantastic job!
