'I was hit with a £13k council tax bill and it gave me FOUR nervous breakdowns'
Last week a court summons then came through the door saying she has £7,000 of debt and had failed to pay her council tax for a year.: "I nearly had a nervous breakdown. My question is why did they let the debt get so large before they informed me, they just dropped it on the doorstep out of the blue.
“We are living hand to mouth. I am very unwell, I have eight physical disabilities and psychological problems.Her daughter Rachael is now worried about her mum who can't afford to pay £510 a month to the Croydon enforcement team.“I have noticed I have been putting on weight but but I can't eat properly because of the cost of it."She added: "I do not understand how the incompetence levels have let it get up to what it is.
“If she has £20 to put on the electric and £20 in her purse, she will take £10 aside to put it on the council tax just so she will not have the stress of someone knocking on her door. "She won't even open her letters because she's scared of the council. Their communication levels are ridiculous. I don't know what people are doing there but they aren't doing their job properly. They are the ones f**king it up."
