Interesting!
To be fair to the lady on the switchboard I doubt she could do much else, other than perhaps escalate things to her immediate supervisor. I'd take a guess that she'd specifically been told not to do this with calls about this subject, and that "procedures" will apply. Once you find yourself in this loop, you (as the caller found out) either play their game, or things stop dead at that point. But this is the whole point of these procedures, they are there to defend the "system." However, all procedures have their weak points, and we need to find ways in. It's rather like complaining to a company about shoddy goods/service and being fobbed off at the first hurdle. If I have a complaint, I don't go to the service centre, I go to the chief exec. That really pisses them off, because I've jumped the system and now they know and have to do something about it. With this case, the higher up the political chain the better, because it could (and would) cause maximum embarrassment. Politicians don't like being embarrassed! But, a look around the net for information tells me this is pretty normal procedure for council tax arrears. You get arrested an a warrant, you go before the magistrates, you get sent down. Now, if that's normal procedure then nothing out of the normal has happened and trying to make capital out of it is a waste of time. - Yes I know it stinks. What it did remind of though was a tale about a (now deceased) friend of mine. He was caught without a TV licence. Being an itinerant decorator, he moved on to another part of the country before the summons/fine process occurred. Fast forward about 10 years... He was walking home one Friday night (after a heavy session on the pop with me) and was stopped by a passing police vehicle. The officer asked if he was alright, and what he was doing in a rather unsavoury neighbourhood so late. He explained that he'd been drinking, left his car at the pub and being responsible was walking home. The police officer commended him on his sense, and asked for his name. Quick check with PNC, outstanding arrest warrant! He had no idea what it was about, and didn't find out until later. Poor chap was arrested and held over the weekend until he could be presented to the magistrates Monday morning. He is duly presented, and apologises profoundly as he now knows it's all about the TV licence, something he'd genuinely forgotten about. Apparently, he had been tried and fined in his absence, and the arrest warrant had been issued for non payment. He offered to pay up there and then, quite happy to pay interest and accepting costs for the present court appearance. The magistrate wasn't interested, 20 minutes later he was on his way to Winston Green in the back of a police car. The two coppers couldn't believe it, they thought they'd got a mass murder or something in their car. He'd been given 7 days. As he lived alone, we were quite worried because he'd just disappeared. He turned up the following Monday, we pissed ourselves laughing, but maybe this is the way fine defaulters are treated? - Doesn't make it right though. |

What's amazing is that it people take it all as normal and even necessary. | |||
