So what do the figures above represent and how does it affect you
I will show your 2007
Lets start with the notices and liability orders.
So in 2007
we sent penalty notices to 33614 ( approx 47.8% ) of the public after 4 weeks
we sent summons to 11749 ( approx 34.95 % ) of the public 10 weeks
We obtained liability orders 8345 ( approx 16.72% ) of public after 12 weeks
All above ON THE SAME YEAR THE COUNCIL TAX IS DUE
Yet, we publish a successful collection rate of 97.7% for that year. Now that’s what I call
mental arithmetic
So still on that year 2007, let have a look at what those figure represent.
On the above summons, them 11749 people are charged an extra ( Approx £ 80 ) for getting summoned.
And this is were the court fund account comes in 2007= we charged 8345 of our tax payers, and extra £ 667,795 and the council get this, not the court
The 8345 that have liability orders are charged approximately and extra ( £ 150 ) to the bailiffs
So, in real terms, 16.72 % of the council tax payers pay approx 25% more each year.
