Help Needed Please Congestion Charge!

[sgtbush]

am i right in thinking that a charge is not forceable by law unless you entered into an agreement for the service to be chargable? If the congestion charge were a tax then it is forceable by law upon the people? Therefore as i didnt agree to pay the charge i am now not obliged to pay it?? i.e a mate comes round without you knowing cuts the grass and sends you a bill for £20.. obviously you never asked for the service therefore are not contractually obliged to pay it??

 

 

(Edit) do you think your a freeman and your birth certificate is a legal fiction??

The Director of Congestion Charging has just agreed that there were mitigating circumstances and the charge has been cancelled.

 

We are not rude on this Forum.

Great result, though it does confirm that the authorities prefer to ignore legitimate mitigating circumstance if they can use their legal powers to claw coffers from the public

I agree. I've always found the only thing to do is to write a personal letter to the person at the top.

 

On one occasion though for a road tax issue I just couldn't get a name, so I went to Court and their barrister backed down before we even got to the judge. That was because the people who were dealing with it seemed incapable of realizing that the beginning of October to the end of March is six months, despite the fact that they even had a copy of the tax disc. Fortunately the barrister could count!
