    Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 06-Apr-2025

    Statement Upheld Other 06-Apr-2025

  • London Borough of Hackney (24 013 245)

    Statement Upheld Council tax 06-Apr-2025

    Summary: The complainant, X, complained that a Cyber Attack on the Council’s systems meant they were unable to pay Council Tax at the time. X was billed for Council Tax during the financial year and so the Council’s offer of a payment plan is reasonable. There was fault, as the Council failed to tell X of the right to appeal to the Valuation Fund after an application to the Council Tax Reduction Discretionary Fund was refused. Apologising and writing to X to give the right of appeal remedies the injustice.
