“well if no-one cared about what was.. or is now in the council tax's wallet.. there would't be such services as fire, police, rubbish collection etc.

so to be quite honest. someones going to pay the bill and its a little unfair seeing that someone has around a year and a halfs worth of council tax has been outstanding for over 3 years and counting.

shes admitted she has a stake of a house. sort it out and pay the tax like the rest of us!

i'm sure people would be a bit more persuaded to make sure they pay if their facilitys were suspended.”

“this bill is between her & her estranged husband if you lot bother to read, not the new man in her life...and the council have not giving her warnings due to the fact that they have moved her from one hotel room to another, therefore not being able to receive warnings - its about time people started caring about people instead of whats in their wallets -”

“actually the most judgemental have their comments "moderated"
freedom of speech eh.”

“Very funny Anon ( the most judgmental are always anon). Ever tried chasing a man who doesn't want to pay? They are very good at getting away with it.”

“Why not just pay the bills in the first place?
If you don't pay it, expect to be chased for it, pregnant or not!!”

“Why does the Father not support her.
The are proceedures in place where monies can be recovered from absentee fathers. Use them!”

“Its a human story. What is news if it isn't about human stories. Death, destruction, killings, murders, natural disasters are all human stories but I know which ones I'd rather read. All human stories are news.”

“I think the long and short of this is that it shouldn't be in the newspaper - what part of this story is newsworthy? We all have bills to pay. We all struggle. Some of us have kids, some of us don't. She owes the money. She accepts she owes the money. So what's the point of the story exactly? What makes her struggle to pay the bill any more interesting/newsworthy than anyone elses?”

“What a judgmental lot. I happen to know this young lady who is doing the best she can under her circumstances, with no support from the fathers of her children. She looks after her sister, who has learning difficulties, since the death of her father. She is doing her best to encourage her college work to enable her to gain employment. Her children are polite and well mannered due to her. Her estranged husband does not financially support them in any way. She has embraced her situation with dignity and without complaint and does not deserve to be ridiculed and bullied. If she had refused her responsibilities, she would be costing the tax payer a darn site more than half a council tax bill. And Cy, when you reach a pension able age, it may be Cherie¿s children paying for it, should you be unfortunate enough not to have children. God forbid this doesn¿t happen. Take a look around at your own lives, possessions, bank accounts and families. Would you swap with her, I doubt it. She is even in danger of losing the few possessions she does have. She has tried to contact the council but without luck, being passed off and put on hold, very frustrating as we all know. She is willing to pay her half of the bill but cannot get hold of the council to arrange a suitable payment plan. She does have her faults as we all have, possibly in her naïve choice of men. Stop passing judgment on a person you do not know and give this girl a break.”

“'Try and find me' - the electoral register is not linked to the council tax lists. By not going on the voting register all you're doing is depriving yourself the right to vote.
If they were going to come after you, they would have found you by the council tax details you've given now.”
