Martin Geddes (yes, he again) now summarises (with a little help from ChatGPT) just why he considers that Durham County Council may be outside the law in terms of its council tax enforcement processes.
That isn't at all to say that all councils are similarly suspect - I have no details - but nor can I rule it out, especially as many of them, like CDOS (see the article) will be members of the CIVEA (Civil Enforcement Association) and may be thought likely to have similar systems to Durham CC.
"These assaults on the public appear to be war crimes (as enemy combatants), crimes against humanity, and terrorist attacks — so fall under international human rights law and military jurisdiction"
Is Your Council Tax Enforcement Really Fraudulent?
Whatever the truth of all this is, it is also true that contesting a legally unenforceable demand within a corrupt system is a different ball-game altogether, and likely to involve much time, worry, and perhaps confrontation - as individuals we should choose our battles wisely to avoid over-extending ourselves.
