One can only imagine that the finance department got their act together and collected money from people who have done everything they've been asked to do to make collection simple, then maybe, just maybe there wouldn't be 23 people waiting on the telephone to sort out a problem
That sounds like one that slipped the net Jay and I will apologise on behalf of the Council for the error but of all people it could have happened to it just had to be a member of your family....
