    ???????????? Sorry but what are you going on about.

    Didnae have to mess wi Stirling Park,telfordstar.Cos we have been hit before the council tax financial year has even ended.Only £200 to pay in four months,we have been hit big time,before the financial year has ended.14 days.So Merry Christmas to ye the Highland Cooncil.

    Cedric, a bit more detail to your complaint might be a bit more informative.

    Ahh, but a water meter can work to your advantage depending upon your usage. See, we don't use much water but are billed on the basis of a family of four. Mrs Ricco won't consider a change because she is considering the re-sale attraction of non-meter.

    that's true for us as well...we hardly pay anything but if you've got kids who use a lot of water then you could end up paying a whole lot more...we would hate to go back to the rates method...

    A wee bit more information for ye Aaldtimer.Our council tax bill for the financial year 2009-2010 was £1037.71.To date we have paid £837.71.Me and the wife like to pay the council tax monthly so when it comes to February and March,we have two free months without payments.We have been taken to court for non-payment of council tax.Before I wrote the thread we had phoned the Highland Council to ask for advice.Was told that their hands were tied because they have a system set up.
    What system is set up that it cannot be seen that a man and his wife have paid £837.71 of their council tax.With four months still to go.When as I have said we like the last two months free of any hassles.Yet we have been penalised.At the court,could a wee bit of common sense not be used to see that payments over the months of £837.71 showed that a couple were paying thier council tax.Obviously not.I actually paid an extra £15.71 on my last payment to get rid of the 71p.
    I'm taken to court during these hard times when we are paying our dues.When I'm still reading today in the papers of politicians ripping off expenses.Its an unfair Britain.But here it will be paid as always,we will have a fantastic Christmas as always.
