Birmingham City Council Avis 

If this was a business, the leadership would be sacked. The Council Tax system is BROKEN! We are forced to pay council tax when they take over a month to respond to emails, and charge for council tax in FULL, even though they still haven't given me any bins which I requested 3 months ago.

Wake up, people - it's time we fought against this injustice (legally).

They took £500 out of my bank for council tax despite me informing I was in a single person household. I cancelled direct debit due to this and have been paying but was a few weeks late with last payment. A week after paying I was sent a summons. Unsure what I’m paying for the roads are dirty, bins aren’t collected consistently and emergency services are a work in progress.

Again on visiting Yardley crem today, 18.7.2024 at 9. 20 with witness and few people attending there is devistation and destructive damage yet again created by council groundsmen who mow lawns, one being my parents kurb stone, pots every where, from kurb stones, flowers. Now this has been going on for over 3yrs, so I be seeking compensation as memorials are not cheap dwn to flowers are not cheap, no respect for dead nor living these groundsmen. I have proof being photos ect. Insulting my intelligence saying it's wildlife. They don't throw pots around nor use brooms to gather dirt at end of path either. How rude. It will be the papers next. Disgusting behaviour from groundsmen, need sacking. no dignity or respect given. No one monitoring these guys when doing job
How would you feel being your family? I would appreciate a call to disguss as I'm not happy, every time there is damage to resting place, shouldn't have to keep checking when I pay money/leasing for curbing stone.
Sort it out. So rude you did not get back to MP either so papers, TV it will be

Visited Birmingham for first time last month, was unaware of the clean air charges. Got charged £60 pcn a month later, glad to see that they can't A. Give warning that you were in the area and you need to pay before they send the pcn charge, and B. Why is there sod all notices around? They claim that they are listed around when entering the area, I saw nothing and would say I'm quite observant on the roads.

Failing this the fact that you are entering a city centre with lots of traffic and having to check your in the right lane etc, maybe have some of these signs inside the city centre? I parked up at a multistory car park, perfect place to just put a reminder for people about the clean air zone? Nah course not, just want to take more money from regular people right? Gonna avoid driving to Birmingham from now on, well done Birmingham council 👍

Birmingham city council are lying schemeing scumbags who sleep around with people alot younger than them and bribe them with money and stop others from getting s property becasue they lie through thwir teeth

I've been complaining for around 4 years for the leaks and the dampness of my flat, they even moved me temporarily for over a year and there's still problems. They don't fix the problem they just try to hide it from me. They covered my bathroom walls in plastic so I couldn't see the leaks and smell from behind the bare wall. My circumstances are so bad I'm falling into depression and my daughter's are also having to suffer from the conditions that we live in. No one will help us.

Incompetent financial management, then had the audacity to send me a liability order for £0.26 . I’m think the cost of the postage was three times that amount .Request for refund of unfair charge was ignored.

I am a Birmingham City Council tenant who has been unable to get a leak sorted for over 7 months. Several appointments were made to get the repair done with Fortem (council contractor) but they did not turn up. Despite the repeated attempts Fortem stated that I should have stayed in for 3 days after every appointment to wait for them (which I could not do because I work for the NHS) even though they had given me dates for the appointments. I didn't know that this leak was also affecting my neighbour who had also been complaining. Fortem forced entry with no notice other than ringing me from a private number on the day whilst I was at work. Despite how upsetting this has been for me the council has gone out of their way to cover this up and refuse to explain what they have done. It is upsetting that a LABOUR COUNCIL is so corrupt and abusive to its tenants but this has been going on for a very long time.

Don't inform Birmingham council if any people move in or out of your property. They will give you a new account in debit and refuse to move the credit from your old account across to the new account, whilst chasing you for the money!

Genuinely baffled at how you could be this incompetent

This housing officer has deliberately showed biassed in a recent antisocial behaviour hate crime.
He is lied ,he has failed to follow company procedure.

A tenant has been the victim of a hate crime for the past 4 years and wanted to install a CCTV camera in order to collate evidence. Jason has denied the tenant.
But he has turned a blind eye to the fact that the tenants abuser has installed cctv camera, Is committing benefit fraud and is in blatant breach of the tenancy agreement.
Call evidence can be provided to substantiate my claim.

Very disappointed ☹️, if not pay on the same day I will get a ticket for £60 very bed, now we need to pay for your mistake!!!, city council very disappointed in very poor performance of this!!!!, Stolen money from us , you need to be sorry for your self, these things that are happening, it's all your fault!!!!,

How can a bankrupt council still run itself? As a bankrupt you are not allowed by law to run a business! Therefore the residents of Birmingham do not have to pay council tax as you are technically an illegal entity and barred from trading. Or is this council above the laws of the land?

Total dump
Sack all the WFH
Sack the traffic wardens
Council is corrupt

One of the worst Council in the world😡😡😡Birmingham city council rent team is harassing me and keeps ending me letters about rent. I’ve paid all my rent but still they sending me warnings.

I called the rent team and spoke to one of the Indian lady she was so rude and wouldn’t listen to me. She was keep asking me personal questions. I told her that you don’t need to ask me those questions. When I started to explain she wouldn’t listen to me.

So I made a complaint about their staff and their service.
They came back with a very bad attitude the guy who handled my complaint was clearly defending her colleague😡😡😡I will be taking this matter further.

Also they recently increased rent about £12.00, a week.
Their flats a mould and disgusting, Roads are rubbish.
Shame on Birmingham City Council.

Birmingham city council had the best Science museum in the world in New Hall street. It contained hundreds of thousands of exhibits donated by businesses which has been based in the city.
With complete stupidity they dismantled it all and built millennium point where about 5% of the exhibits are on show. The rest is in storage. Hopeless

Disgusting city, got a penalty charge notice for parking near a 'red route' - not a clue what that is and there were no warning notices anywhere near - just an excuse for this grubby city to claw back a bit of money from motorists to stave off bankruptcy. Was looking at a festival there but I'm not spending a penny in the city again if I can help it, everywhere you go you have a feeling you are going to get a fine for clean air zones or something else, we felt on edge all the time and judging by the state of the city you'd think they would be welcoming people - never again!

Booked a collection online. Date confirmed. Yes there is a cost but as we don't drive we have no access to the tip. Placed items outside as instructed. Collected before 8am. Everything gone. Very happy. Great job team

They've increased the community tax substantially and have missed refuse collection. They never honour to collect with in the 48 hours they say they will.

If only I could give less than zero! An absolute waste of a council. They have messed up with CAZ and LTN. They never fix pot holes until they become ponds. And now they're putting up our taxes. Useless and incompetent.

BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL CAUSING DEPRESSION AND STRESS
Sent 4 PCN straight to Bristow and Sutor ..according to them they have sent all notices which is a lie i have always paid my fines however now that they are bankrupt they are sending the increased fine straight to debt collectors.
I havent recieved any letters since before August .... I even had to ask Bristow And Sutor what dates the PCNS have as I had no idea about them
I have paid so many fines in the past with no issues however somehow no letters were arriving and now I have to pay nearly 1000 to Bristow and Sutor on a payment plan
Now I have received an email because I appealed a PCN that came with 189 gbp to pay when I hadnt even received the 1st one they normally send you.
You are causing stress BCC ... I haven't received any notifications for these PCN and I know post is arriving correctly because you sent me a bus lane fine recently which I happily paid
There was something wrong with your post in August September October November and December as I recieved NOTHING FROM YOU
