Some years ago, I owed a few pissy hundred pounds in council tax, approx 200 quid ..... at the time I was suffering a breakdown after the x left ... long story horrendous marriage, hence the breakdown ... they daily sent threatening letters, knowing my condition at the time ( I managed to call them, and explain, that I will pay it, I had no idea the x had not paid, and this amount was outstanding ... I had school uniforms to buy, plus all other bills, I needed at least 2 weeks to get it to them, was not refusing to pay, just needed those 2 weeks ) I was not in a good place, just shut down completely, was suicidal ... doc put me on heavy medication, the last letter sent, in big red letters, despite explaining the situation ... that bailiffs would be instructed to collect the debt, for 200 fuckin pissing quid, they were pushing me to the point of killing myself, because I was so ill, my mind fuzzy, confused, just couldnt deal with anything, and the bastards took advantage of that ... thank god I have a big supportive family, who eventually took over, when they saw how ill I was ... to give me some breathing space to recover, and help with my children, if I didnt have that support, my children would now be without their mother ... my dad paid them in full when he found out, the fucks had also taken it to court, again without my knowledge, and added another few hundred quid in costs on top of original amount ... later when recovered, I tried to pay him back, but he refused told me to spend it on the kids ... I owed a few
bleeping pissy quid, and was hounded, how the
duck is she getting away with owing millions, particularly to the tax man, who I know for sure, come down hard on those who owe them, without mercy, how is this
bleeping skank, getting away with this
