Information on this site is for educational purposes only it is not legal advice [see Disclaimer at the bottom of the site] it is relevant to all councils I live in the district of Epping Forest Council and I have withheld council tax for five years as they are unable to prove any obligation. 
 

​Ever wondered 

 

Where your Council Tax money goes?

 

Did you know you are under no obligation to pay it?

​

Before you go any further check out this PDF

​​

As the council is just a corporation and has a DUNS number a contract is required which you do not have with them.

​​

EFDC DUNS number - 22569499I - Other Councils DUNS Numbers - Here

​

This is not about getting out of paying it, you have to withhold payment and keep it aside so that if you were to find yourself in hot water you have the money to pay.

​

All correspondence from Councils, Banks, Mortgages, Loans, Utilities, Fines to name a few will be sent to you in all caps example MR JOHN DOE, never John Doe, this is where they have tricked you to believe that you are the ALL CAPS NAME.

 

The ALL CAPS NAME is another you its your 'Strawman' find out more in this short 5 minute video here 

 

And do go even deeper check out 'Meet Your Strawman' here

​

 They also refer to you as a 'Person' you are NOT a person, see why here

​​​​​​

Council Tax like all Tax is fraud, firstly I would recommend you go to the 'Recommendations' page and watch a few of the videos so that you can see what crimes the councils are committing and why you are not obliged to pay council tax.

​

And if the information presented on this site isn't enough to anger you wait till you find out the salaries of the staff and accounts at EFDC - Find out more here

​

All councils and Enforcement rely on is your ignorance, threats, fear and just a couple of Acts The Local Government Finance Act 1992 & Council Tax & Enforcement Regulations 1992 which is legal but not Lawful so what is the difference between law and legislation! Find out here

​

I would strongly advise that you then check out my pages on Freedom of Information Request [FOIR] or a Data Subject Access Request [DSAR] send EFDC one or both they legally have 30 days to respond, now imagine if the council was inundated with FOIR and DSAR's [also known as a SAR] they would not have enough administration to deal with them so would possible be to busy to pass on your personal details which they have no rights to store and use on to Debt/Enforcement crooks.

​

Mass non compliance is the way forward, Council Tax is due April 1st, 'April Fools day', they are even telling you its a joke and they think we are fools.

​

I apologies for the lateness of this site I am extremely busy fighting the system for myself and others and busy with other projects, however, if you have paid your council tax watch some videos as recommended then begin the Notice process stating that you have come across information that questions the legality and obligation to pay council tax and that you will be withholding payments until such time they respond to your Notices.

​

This is a very long process but the more that follow it the quicker justice can be served, their is powers in numbers.

 

Send your council a FOIR or/and a DSAR as well as a Notice of Conditional Acceptance, stating that you will be withholding payment until you receive answers and documents requested.

​

Also Councils and DCA's have no legitimate interest in storing, using or passing on your personal details therefore they are in breach of General Data Protection regulations [GDPR]. 

 

I hope the information on this site encourages and empowers you to dig more do your own due diligence then start the process.

The council is [supposedly] responsible for providing a range of services to residents, businesses, and visitors in this area. The district encompasses the market town of Epping and several surrounding towns and villages, including Loughton, Waltham Abbey, Chigwell, and Buckhurst Hill. Epping Forest, a large area of protected ancient woodland, is one of the most notable features of the district.

​

​Council Responsibilities - [supposedly]

​​

EFDC is tasked with providing essential local services, including:

​​

• Housing and Homelessness: The council manages local housing policies, including social housing provision and support for those facing homelessness.

​

• Planning and Building Control: EFDC oversees development in the district, ensuring that new housing, commercial projects, and public spaces meet local needs and environmental standards.

​

• Leisure and Recreation: The council is responsible for maintaining parks, sports facilities, and leisure services. It runs the Epping Forest District Museum, sports clubs, and community centers.

​

• Education and Libraries: Although education in the district is mostly managed by Essex County Council, EFDC works to support local schools and runs libraries in the area.

​

• Waste Collection and Recycling: EFDC provides waste management services, including weekly refuse collection, recycling, and garden waste collection.

​

• Public Health and Environmental Protection: The council ensures public safety through initiatives in environmental health, food safety, pest control, and pollution control.

​

• Council Tax: EFDC is responsible for setting and collecting Council Tax, which funds many of the services it provides to local residents.

​

The District

 

Epping Forest District spans approximately 130 square miles and is home to over 130,000 residents. The district combines urban, suburban, and rural environments, with parts of the Epping Forest itself forming a natural boundary to the west. This historic woodland is a major attraction, drawing visitors for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. The district is also well connected by transport links, with easy access to London via the Central Line of the London Underground and road networks, making it a popular place to live for commuters.

​​

Governance and Elections

 

EFDC is a Conservative-controlled council, and it operates under a Leader and Cabinet system. The Council Leader is the head of the council, and the Cabinet is responsible for decision-making across key areas like finance, housing, and public services. Members of the council are elected every four years through local elections, with each of the district's electoral wards represented by elected councillors.

Key Local Issues

​

Some key concerns for residents of Epping Forest District include:

​

• Housing Demand: With a growing population and proximity to London, the area faces high demand for housing, including affordable housing.

​

• Transportation: Despite good transport links, traffic congestion, particularly around the M25 and main roads, is a common issue for the district.

​

• Environmental Sustainability: With the presence of Epping Forest, the council works to balance development and conservation efforts, ensuring that the natural environment is preserved.

 

Conclusion

 

Epping Forest District Council SHOULD play a central role in maintaining the quality of life for residents and managing the challenges of a growing, diverse community. The council’s responsibilities SHOULD span a wide array of public services, with a focus on planning, housing, recreation, and environmental protection.

​

Now onto Counci; tax -What Council Tax SHOULD be used for.

​

Council Tax funds a variety of local services, including:

​

• Education (like local schools)

• Social care (support for elderly or disabled residents)

• Waste collection and recycling

• Local road maintenance and infrastructure

• Local police and fire services

• Parks and recreational services

• Environmental health (e.g., pest control)

• Public health services

 

Council Tax SHOULD contribute to the cost of these services, but it is not the sole source of funding. Local authorities may receive other funding from central government or other sources.

 

How is Council Tax Calculated?

 

Council Tax is based on the value of the property, specifically its valuation band. The bands are determined by the value of the property on April 1st, 1991 (for England and Wales), and may differ slightly in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

​

Properties are classified into eight bands:

​

• Band A: Up to £40,000

• Band B: £40,001 to £52,000

• Band C: £52,001 to £68,000

• Band D: £68,001 to £88,000 (this is the typical "standard" band)

• Band E: £88,001 to £120,000

• Band F: £120,001 to £160,000

• Band G: £160,001 to £320,000

• Band H: Over £320,000

 

The Council Tax amount for each band varies depending on the local authority. The local council sets the rate, and the amount you pay will also depend on the number of people in the household and whether there are any discounts or exemptions.

​

Who Pays Council Tax? [none of us should its all fraud by deception]

 

Typically, the adult residents of a property are responsible for paying Council Tax. If a property is unoccupied or the resident is a student (who are generally exempt), the tax may not apply. In some cases, if there is more than one adult in the household, the council may apply a discount for single occupants, or other allowances depending on the circumstances.

​

Discounts and Exemptions:

​

• Single person discount: If you live alone, you may get a 25% discount.

• Full-time students: Generally, they are exempt from paying Council Tax.

• Severe mental impairment: People with certain disabilities may qualify for exemptions.

• Carers or live-in carers: There can be exemptions for individuals providing care for others.

• Empty or uninhabitable properties: Some properties that are empty or under renovation may be exempt or eligible for a discount for a period.

 

Council Tax Bands and Local Authority Rates

​

Each council will set its own rates, which means that two properties in different areas but in the same band may pay different amounts. The local authority will issue a Council Tax bill each year outlining the due payment amounts.

​

Payment Schedule

​

Council Tax is typically paid in monthly installments, but some councils may offer other options, such as quarterly payments or annual payments. The tax year runs from April to March, so your bill will usually cover the upcoming 12 months.

​

Council Tax and the "Local" Aspect

Because Council Tax is used by local authorities, it SHOULD be linked directly to the local area in which you live. The rates may vary between councils based on the services they provide and their overall budget needs. The amount that a council charges can depend on the local community's infrastructure and priorities.

 

Enforcement and Non-payment:

​

If Council Tax isn’t paid, councils believe they can take action to collect the debt. This could include:

• Sending reminders or a final notice

• Taking legal action to issue a county court judgment (CCJ)

• Deductions from wages or benefits

• In extreme cases, bailiffs could be instructed to collect the debt.

 

Changes in Council Tax:

​​

In some years, councils may increase Council Tax rates, and this must usually be approved by local residents or through a local referendum (if the increase exceeds a certain threshold). The government also provides grants to councils to assist with public services, but the levels of these grants can change over time.

​

How to Check Your Band

​

If you think your property’s band is wrong, you can check it online via the government’s website. You can challenge the banding if necessary, although this is relatively rare.

​

Council Tax is mandatory

 

There is no obligation to pay it - The council's are under a legal obligation to prove that we the people are under an obligation to comply with the Legislations they rely on. [they cant]

 

The employees at the councils are civil servants meaning that they work for us the people. They are our servants in public office. The council building's and all their assets belong to us, not the council the CEO's or their shareholders.

​

Councils will use 'The Local Government Finance Act 1992' this is secondary legislation to our Constitution and primary legislation which is to protect us the people from tyranny.

​

Currently local government, collectively retains half of the income from business rates, the other half is paid by councils to central government, which uses the income to fund grants to local authorities.

​

First things first, and it's important that you know the facts, clear of the smoke and mirrors which are being put up at every twist and turn to prevent you from learning the truth. So some definitions and facts: The Government in the UK is not a government elected by the people at all. It is private all for profit corporation called HM Parliaments & Governments PLC. A statute (or act of Parliament): A legislative rule which is given the force of law with your consent. NOTE: a statute or act of Parliament IS NOT LAW. It is a rule or regulation or company policy of the private corporation HM Parliaments & Governments PLC. It has been confirmed as truth and fact following due process at HMCTS tribunal that for a claim made or an act or statute to be valid, then first there must be consent of the governed. This must be obtained by way of a formal contract between HM Parliaments & Governments PLC and you.

​

Have you signed an agreement or contract with EFDC?

​

A Contract or agreement: A formal written document which lays out terms offered and accepted by the living parties, which offers full disclosure and is signed in WET INK by all parties. In the instance of a company being one of the parties, either a director in the presence of a witness or two officers of the company must sign in wet ink, and you. The contract must be entered into by all parties whole heartedly and willingly, without coercion, not under duress or under the threat of loss or harm and full disclosure must always be given if these clear requirements for a contract are not adhered to then the contract is null and void from the start. Although it is claimed that verbal contracts stand, nothing can be proved from verbal contracts. Over time, details can be forgotten by the parties and witnesses or the truth can be bent on purpose for whatever reason so they must be recorded in formal documents so there is no doubt. Signing in wet ink: Literally means a living being must pick up a pen and sign with his own hand. Your Signature is everything. It creates the agreement (contract) and the liability and it also creates all funds. So unless you and approx. 64.2 million other living men and women who live on the land known as the United Kingdom [England] have signed a contract with HM Parliaments & Governments PLC agreeing to adhere to and be bound by all their acts and statutes, then any claim made against you under an act is fraud by default, including Council Tax which your liability is claimed under The Local Government Finance Act 1992.

​

What happens if you dont pay Council Tax?

 

If you fail to pay your Council Tax, the council can take legal action to recover the debt. This begins with issuing a summons and obtaining a liability order from the court, which confirms you owe the money. Once a liability order is granted, the council has several options to recover the debt. These include wage garnishment, where money is deducted directly from your wages, or instructing bailiffs to seize your property. If the debt remains unpaid, the council can apply for a county court judgment (CCJ), which can severely affect your credit score. Additionally, legal fees and enforcement costs may be added to the debt.

​

However, the Councils are committing fraud by issuing their own Court Summons and Liability Orders the councils even hire the courts and use their own judges [huge conflict of interest]. However, The Local Government Act 1888 section 78 (2) is quite clear that this is unlawful as it states:
 
Construction of Acts referring to business transferred.
​
(2)Provided that the transfer of powers and duties enacted by this Act shall not authorise any county council or any committee or member thereof—
(a)to exercise any of the powers of a court of record; or
(b)to administer an oath; or
(c)to exercise any jurisdiction under the Summary Jurisdiction Acts, or perform any judicial business, or otherwise act as justices or a justice of the peace,
 
Bailiffs/Enforcement agents are relying on Liability orders that NO longer exist as per The Council Tax Handbook Chapter 10; the form (Form A) originally provided to draw up liability orders was removed from law from 10 July 2003 in Wales and 1 October 2003 in England and no form has been substituted in its place. Without any written record of its order or judgement being issued by the court, an order from a magistrate’s court may be invalid. You will also notice all paper work you receive will state 'You' owe money or 'You' are summons, its good to advise them that's not 'You' as “You” or "Your" means the company or other legal entity for which you are accepting this Agreement.

Bailiffs/Enforcement agents

​​

They seem to be under the misconception that they have more powers than what they actually do and that they can brake into your home and take your goods with a 'Warrant of Control' this is incorrect a Warrant of Control means they need your permission to enter which obviously you would never give, to gain entry to your home a 'Warrant of Entry' is required this type of Warrant is issued to Utilities companies if they believe there is a risk of harm ie, gas leak, or the police but only under certain circumstances.

They do not have a legitimate warrant. They may show you something on an ipad that may look like one but that is not from the courts and it will never be signed they do not have the original warrant as it does not exist.

​

The bailiff/agent/enforcement agent or any representative must have the certificate under the original court warrant. If the bailiff/agent/enforcement agent or any representative does not have the original court warrant in an intelligible form, then the police must arrest him/her, under section 125 of the County Court Act, section 78 of the Road Traffic Act, and section 2 of the Fraud Act. By law the police have to examine the bailiff’s paperwork. If the bailiffs do not have the documents, the police are required by law to arrest the bailiff/agent/enforcement agent or any representative.

​

If the police officer refuse to arrest the bailiff/agent/enforcement agent or any representative then you can threaten the police with serious formal allegations under the police disciplinary codes, for perverting the course of justice and serious negligence of duty. If the police officer gets found guilty under the police disciplinary code, the very least that can happen is that they will lose their job. No job, no career, no pension.

 

If there is a serious failure, failure to arrest the bailiff /agent / enforcement agent or any representative the police officer can go to jail. The police officer is obliged to take a report of a crime and then walk off. On returning to the police station, by law, they must log the reported crime. And it must go through to investigation.

 

If the police officer fails to take a report of a crime, it is a serious negligence of duty under the police disciplinary code, and he can lose his job. Take the police officer’s collar number and report the police officer. https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-83-writs-and-warrants-generalprovisions Malfeasance of public office: any officer that assists a civil matter in debt recovery is aiding and abetting a criminal act and is going against their oath.

​

It is a good idea to inform the Enforcement Company of the following:

​

That in line with recent OFT Guidance (issued Oct 2010) surrounding unenforceability,

​​

OFT has stipulated that 'sections 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 outline the information creditors must provide to debtors.

 

 Under fixed-term, running account & Hire Agreements'. This simply means that under these sections a debtor can pay £1.00 statutory fee for the following:

 

A true and certified copy (NOT photocopy) of the Original Contract/Credit Agreement between The Bullies Company and The Company you allegedly owe money to – redacted if necessary

 

1) Copies of documents mentioned in that agreement 2) A statement of account

3) Validation of the alleged debt owed with FULL accounting

​

It is also good to point out to the bullies that profiteering through deception is an act of fraud. See Fraud Act 2006. Insisting on or demanding payment without a pre-existing commercial arrangement which is based on presentable fact's in the form of a commercial agreement is an act of deception. Payment is a commercial activity. 

​

The Tribunal Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 makes no mention of private companies acting as enforcement agents, leaving the bullies company unrecognized as an entity in enforcement law and unregulated [unless they can prove otherwise, remember they have the burden of proof that you owe them money and that they can lawfully collect it]. The Magistrates Court Act 1980 Section 125B only allows authorized companies to "execute warrants". If they hold such a warrant, ask them to execute it by sending it via Royal Mail only.
