I suffered with depression and anxiety disorder following intrusive thoughts and couldn't work for a whole year, falling behind on council tax, basically I was bullied by the council and the bailiffs putting me into crippling debt and financial crisis, unable to pay my rent and bills. I was unable to receive any income support due to the fact my husband was working and they didn't class my mental health as a disability.. my husband earned enough money just to cover council tax debt or rent. the council tax took advantage of our situation piling on-extra debt.... I never thought council tax was really a bad thing until that moment in my life, how I understand how some situations can really turn the tables for people.. I have now learnt one valuable lesson that the council tax is one massive big fraud corporation taking excessive amounts of money from the poor and vulnerable.I see it as a very negative thing now.Because of how council tax treated our situation Making it so stressful and scary and putting so much pressure on us to pay everything upfront when fell behind got with council tax, our other bills And credit card deb also suffered immensely due to how council tax treated us. Which got my husband blacklisted We struggled for a very long time afterwards and never really recovered completely. We were treated like animals by the council. There was a woman that came to see us that worked with corporation that tried to help his minimise the council tax payments into a more reasonable amount but the amount was still very crippling to our financial situation and it was basically rather pay council tax than our of the bills and suffer the consequences. There’s had a very negative effect on me recovering for my mental health, forcing me to go back into work early when I wasn’t prepared already, which had an even worse effect on my mental health. And on my relationship, everything fell apart.This review with some a couple of years ago but I had to put that it was recent otherwise they wouldn’t have allowed me to put this with review. But here is my most recent up-to-date review regarding council tax. My husband missed a couple of payments due to the fact he was struggling with his self-employed job and had to go on universal credit. Council tax thought it would be a really good idea to just put a straight to bullying tactics threatening to take us to court, after three months luckily we was able to pay the amount upfront this time but quite frankly the way they treat people is appalling it makes no sense if somebody is in financial difficulty to put them even further in financial difficulty and to put pressure on them when they do not have the capacity to create that amount of money, it makes no sense except they love to bully the poor and vulnerable
