I do understand where your coming from, it may be of interest that councils(Dover District)do chase all people that owe dosh, and although the figure is high as to those not caught up with, there has to come a point where you stop chasing as it costs a lot more to find them that it does to write it off.
I'm not defending councils(as thankfully im out of all that now)
but last time i saw figures, Dover's figures of getting all the dosh in was very high, and only people who had disappeared and it became questionable as to how many fone calls, letters, visits, you make before it becomes to costly.
But maybe our watty might like to add to this?
When i say the figure is high I mean in financial terms and not person numbers, I think it was around 98% collected in Dover, but im happy to be corrected.
I'm aware of someone who told me he owed 3 years council tax and never got caught, a few months later the caught up with him and he had to repay the 3 years and he couldnt disappear cos they had his employment details as well!
Could be an interesting debate though,
Watty you there???
