		<description>I too am suffering the incompetence of Manchester Shitty Council - same deal, i&#039;ve paid the reminder/threat/court order/bailif notice/ *in full* each time and they&#039;ve still sent yet more letters.

What more can I do than pay the fscking thing, *IDIOTS*.</description>

		<description>this morning &lt;em&gt;[sat 13 august]&lt;/em&gt; i received another letter from &lt;strong&gt;manchester city council&lt;/strong&gt;. this time it was about my &lt;strong&gt;housing benefit&lt;/strong&gt;. the letter told me that my &lt;strong&gt;housing benefit&lt;/strong&gt; had stopped because i hadnae renewed it when it expired last. on the face of it, deceptively logical - if it weren&#039;t for the fact that the council stopped my &lt;strong&gt;housing benefit&lt;/strong&gt; several months ago, because they said id been earning too much money to qualify for it. so they&#039;ve effectively sent me a letter to tell me that i&#039;m no longer getting the &lt;strong&gt;housing benefit&lt;/strong&gt; i wasnae getting in the first place, because i didnae fill in the form to renew it ...er... even tho&#039; there wasnae any point filling in the form to renew it coz i wasnae getting it in the first place!</description>
