Council Tax band revaluation means we've over-paid since 1993. Council claim they're only obliged to repay six years overpayment. Wouldn't mind but we don't exactly get huge value for our council tax anyway (I'm semi-decripit with asthma, fibromyalgia, spinal arthritis etc but still end up having to snow-clear the road outside the house etc. About the only thing they do for us is empty the bins, but I recycle 80% of our rubbish anyway). Also when we were involved in a voluntary capacity with other premises, they hounded us into a collective nervous breakdown with demands for business rates, claiming for more than six years. How come the statute of limitation only works one way?
Council owes us (for a change). How come they can apply statute of limitation?
