I followed the instructions on the above site around 1 year ago,...result ,around £1600 returned to me Some people got £ thousands more than that, you can read the testimonials
There are 10 identical houses in my street, 3 (inc mine) were in a higher band than the rest
My application was rejected 1st time,so i appealed by letter and won,its piss easy,its your own money your gettin back ,as they,ve overcharged

Follow instructions,put in your postcode and you'll see what your neighbours pay for council tax Dont just think about it ...DO IT You might be surprised

Good un Stevie,
Heard about this ages ago - prolly on Martin Lewis' spot on Radio2, but as often occurs, apathy reigned.
Just gone through the various bits and not only does it appear we're in the wrong band (1 too high) based on valuation in 1991, half the street is on 1 band and the other, like us, are 1 band higher! The houses are all the same!!!!
Rock 'n' Roll!!! ££££££'s back dated to 1999 when we moved in .......... Yahoo!
Can't wait to ring the council on Monday!
And hey, even if we get nowt back - at the very least, those that are paying the lower band will get a shock!!!

Good stuff Graeme
My initial application was rejected,cos they said it "was out of time",ie ,i think you get 3 years to apply,but i appealled ,saying if i had known then , that i was paying more than my neighbour,i would have applied at the time
Dont let the fob you off Good luck
Ohh and nae luck rich

cash
I got £1100 back last year cos 6 houses on an estate of 160 were a band higher but i had a load of trouble getting a cheque off the council they just wanted me to not pay for a year and a bit (i think not) so it is worth a try
I have reverse paranoia I think i am following somebody

Re: cash
Took me around 5 months due to the overwhelming amount of applicants,i kept phoning and basically pestering them, they tell you anything,ie,that i'd need to go to an appeal hearing ,etc,which never happens I think they try to get you to drop the case Nae chanceAndy1671 wrote:I got £1100 back last year cos 6 houses on an estate of 160 were a band higher but i had a load of trouble getting a cheque off the council they just wanted me to not pay for a year and a bit (i think not) so it is worth a try

Refund Council Tax ,wrong band
Thought i,d bring this to folks attention again ,incase some new members havn't seen it
Especially with all the doom n gloom ,redundancies ,and short time working (me) ,a wee windfall would come in handy (unfortunately ive had mine).
Anyway, any of you newish forum members who didnt catch it first time round, check it out NOW , you might get back a fortune
