this is ridiculous - they obviously only look at the surface

i have just had my council tax given over to baliffs - was it becasue i havent paid it -no
-it was because twice i have paid it a few days late (once due to the bank making an error and taking a mortgage payment twice thus not enough money to cover the direct debit and the other time was when i was changing my bank account and had to pay online due to direct debit not being set up) the payment were made literally within the week they were due but apparently the rules are if you dont pay on the date you are due to pay you have broken the agreement.( nevermind circumstances beyond your control)
this month i have had an error made with my wage and had to wait for an emergency payment to come through before i could pay it so again - eventhough i have paid it - they say that they cant retrieve it from the baliffs and absolutely refused to ring my place of employment to verify that a mistake had been made in my wage.
bloody ridiculous -

perhaps my standards are too high- maybe this kind of thing is what has won the award of excellence for hyndburn council - god help us !!
