  • Trafford Council (24 009 188)

    Statement Not upheld Housing benefit and council tax benefit 10-Mar-2025

    Summary: Mrs X and Ms Y, representatives of this complaint, and executors of Mr Z’s estate, complain about the Council’s failure to forward an appeal regarding an alleged overpayment to the Tribunal. We have discontinued our investigation. The Council has since forwarded the appeal to the Tribunal, and further investigation would not achieve a worthwhile outcome.

  • Surrey County Council (24 009 896)

    Statement Not upheld School transport 10-Mar-2025

    Summary: there is no fault in the Council’s decision to refuse Mr and Mrs P’s application for transport assistance for their daughter, G. We cannot question decisions taken without fault.

  • London Borough of Enfield (24 011 503)

    Statement Upheld Council tax 10-Mar-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council took legal action regarding unpaid council tax without allowing for the postal system to deliver notification of proceedings. Mrs X also complained the Council failed to deal with the matter when she tried to resolve the issue. She says the Council’s actions caused avoidable stress and led to additional costs. The Council is not at fault regarding its notification to Mrs X. However, we found service failure regarding the Council’s subsequent communication. The Council has agreed to provide a financial remedy and make service improvements.

  • Bristol City Council (24 014 400)

    Statement Upheld Council tax 10-Mar-2025

Mr X was later informed he was liable for council tax from September 2023. We have concluded our investigation with a finding of fault. The Council acknowledges it provided Mr X with incorrect information and has proposed a suitable remedy.
