RE: Application for council tax discretionary reduction – section 13A(1)(c) Local Government Finance Act 1992
I write to apply for discretionary reduction in the amount of council tax under section 13(A) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
I am the occupier of the above property and wish to make an application under Section 13a of the Local Government Finance Act for a reduction to ZERO. This is separate to any entitlement I may have under the local council tax reduction scheme.
Accordingly, please treat this letter as an application for a discretionary reduction on my property on which I pay council tax. My reasons for applying for a discretionary reduction are as follows:
[I am on Benefits and cannot afford to pay Council Tax. -Example! list your financial stuff here!]
I seek a reduction in my council tax on account of financial hardship.
In addition, I request that you take the following into consideration:
[I am currently being treated for Extreme Anxiety and Stress. - Example! list your own Vulnerabilites here!]
The Council is engaged in funding acts of Terrorism in breach of Article 3 Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000
The Council is engaged in funding of Hydraulic Fracturing a process that will contaminate the UK water supply.
The Council instructing unauthorised Corporation to enforce Council Tax by threatening me with enforcement action in breach of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
I include the following evidence I wish you to consider:
I have attached copies of my Benefit claim, A letter form my Doctor and A removal notice from " _________________ Enforcement" that clearly shows that they are attempting to "levy distress" something that can only be carried out with a Court Order by a registered Enforcement Officer.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/19/uk-pension-funds-cluster-bombs-yemen
Please note that ______________________ Enforcement appears to be demanding money with menaces and they do not appear to have any legal right to harass me in relation to Council Tax. Please provide the basis for which they are allowed to threaten a Vulnerable person.
The Council also appear to be acting without any lawful authority in relation to enforcement of Council Tax. Can you provide me with the legal basis for which the Council are enforcing the payment of Council Tax? i.e a copy of the Liability Order issued by a Magistrates Court.
Naturally, I hope that you will award a discretionary reduction in my case.
Please note: in the event you do not accept my application, I am entitled to appeal to the Valuation Tribunal England under section 16 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you within eight weeks of the date of this letter.
Yours faithfully,

For the attention of the Council 151 officer
Dear Sir/Madam.
Application for discount under Section 13a of the Local Government Finance Act 1992
It has come to my attention that the Council is involved in the funding of Terrorists. I would like the 151 officer to investigate my complaint and file a report. This matter should also be treated as an application for discount under Section 13a of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. It would be a serious breach of Council procedure to ignore my application. The application is for a reduction to ZERO. Any enforcement action should be stopped while this application is being processed. I have recently come into information that indicates that the Council is funding acts of terrorism which is a breach of Article 3 Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Some of the evidence I have come across indicates that:
On the 7th July 2005 Terrorist attacks were carried out, in London, by MI5 with the assistance of Mossad. UK Police were involved in the subsequent cover up of these attacks. https://youtu.be/kwyzpzEgUWE
The shooting to death of unarmed Anthony Grainger in 2012 by Greater Manchester Police. This being one of 1518 people killed by police contact since 2005http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315777/The-memory-stick-killing-When-police-lost-data-card-names-1-000-informants-questioned-father--cleared-Two-months-later-shot-dead.html...
The assault on peaceful protesters by multiple UK Police forces in support of Cuadrilla and Third Energy Corporations attempting to poison the water Aquifers using Hydraulic Fracturing in Lancashire and Yorkshire.
The investment in Hydraulic Fracking in the UK by Council Pension funds, causing a clear and present danger to the United Kingdoms water supply:
The Conviction of the UK government in the international War Crime commission for the illegal invasion of IRAQ killing an estimated 1 million men women and children. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2011/11/20111128105712109215.html
The support of the UK government for the Genocide being carried out in GAZA. The murder of men women and children using Tax collected by the UK Government.
https://electronicintifada.net/content/genocide-gaza/6397
Council Tax is funding acts of Terrorism using outlawed Cluster-bombs:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/19/uk-pension-funds-cluster-bombs-yemen
I put you on notice that I am withholding payment of Council Tax until such time as the Council can demonstrate to me that they are no longer funding acts of Terrorism.
Charges applied by "enforcement officers" collecting Council Tax are unlawful:
The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement (TCE) Act makes ‘no reference to limited companies acting as an enforcement agent’, only to individuals, leaving bailiff companies unrecognised as entities in enforcement law, and also unregulated. https://realmedia.press/bailiff-companies-acting-unlawfully-local-authority-contracts-says-independent-review/
How exactly are these charges issued by unrecognised entitities in any way lawful?
The Council Tax (Administration & Enforcement) regulation states:
34.—(1) If an amount which has fallen due under regulation 23(3) or (4) is wholly or partly unpaid, or (in a case where a final notice is required under regulation 33) the amount stated in the final notice is wholly or partly unpaid at the expiry of the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the notice was issued, the billing authority may, in accordance with paragraph (2), apply to a magistrates' court for an order against the person by whom it is payable.
Please provide a copy of the Application made to the Magistrates court and a copy of the Magistrates Court Order that was applied for and presumably granted under these regulations i.e. A copy of the Liability Order issued by a Magistrates Court.
Furthermore:
The local Government Finance Act 1992 and/or the Council Tax Admin & Enforcement regulation 1992 are non-applicable in this matter. When a service is provided by an organisation, be it a council or other, they have to act within the Law, contract Law in this case. You also cannot ignore Constitutional Law, or repeal it.
There is no contract with yourself and myself xxxyourxnamexxxxx. The terms of an agreement must be sufficiently certain or the agreement will be void for uncertainty. Where a contract is void it is automatically of no effect from the very beginning.
I, nor a council, can suggest they can ignore the Law with no consequence, and act in an illegal manner to obtain finances through menaces. Thus getting a secondary company involved is creating something that is, unlawful and illegal in its actions. We should remember that you are civil servants who serve the public, not the other way around.
A‘void’ order or claim has no legal effect ab initio (from the beginning/outset) and therefore does not need to be appealed, although for convenience it may sometimes be necessary to have it set aside (Lord Denning in MacFoy v United Africa Co. Ltd. [1961] and Firman v Ellis [1978]) whereas a ‘voidable’ order or claim has legal effect unless and until it is set aside. Therefore, while a void order or claim does not have to be obeyed and can be ignored and its nullity can be relied on as a defence when necessary (Wandsworth London Borough Council v. Winder [1985] A.C. 461), a voidable order or claim has to be obeyed and cannot be ignored unless and until it is set aside. In Bellinger v Bellinger [2003] UKHL 21 the House of Lords confirmed that a void act is void from the outset and no Court – not even the House of Lords (now the Supreme Court) - has jurisdiction to give legal effect to a void act no matter how unreasonable that may seem, because doing so would mean reforming the law which no Court has power to do because such power rests only with Parliament. The duty of the Court is to interpret and apply the law not reform or create it.
Obviously I have a legal claim on you (the council) not the company you’ve fraudulently used to demand money through menaces. So we seek address from the civil service as, quite wrongly, you've acted in an illegal manner.
So currently acting unlawfully. Fraud in Fact by Deceit Obfuscation and Denial and Theft “ACTUAL FRAUD. Creating a deception and concealing something or making a false representation, causing mental injury to an individual.
Acting outside of the Law and demanding money through menaces. The Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994 clearly states; It shall be an offence for any person who, with a view to gain for himself or another or with intent to cause loss to another, makes any unwarranted demand with menaces.
(2) For the purposes of this section—
(a) a demand with menaces shall be unwarranted unless the person making it does so in the belief—
(i) that he has reasonable grounds for making the demand, and
(ii) that the use of the menaces is a proper means of reinforcing the demand;
(b) the nature of the act or omission demanded shall be immaterial and it shall also be immaterial whether or not the menaces relate to action to be taken by the person making the demand.
(3) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable—
(a) on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £1,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both,
(b) on conviction on indictment to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years or to both.
I Your namexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxb will also point out that any future liabilities will be paid by the council on my behalf in accordance with the Local Govt Act 1888 c41 part V proceedings of a council and committee section 79 subsection 2.

Reply rebutting Council claims & asking again for discount
Dear Ian,
Thank you for your letter dated 24th September 2018 acknowledging receipt of my application for a discount on my Council tax to ZERO. I note that in your letter you have not addressed the issue of my request for a discount under Section 13a of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
In answer to your points:
--1- - Regarding the funding of Terrrorism by the Council, it is a matter of due diligence for me to ascertain if Huntingdonshire Council is indeed funding terrorism. I could be arrested under Article 3 Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000 if I knowingly fund terrorism.
The United Kingdom's Terrorism Act 2000 defined terrorism as follows:
(1) In this Act "terrorism" means the use or threat of action where:
(a) the action falls within subsection (2),
(b) the use or threat is designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public and
(c) the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.
(2) Action falls within this subsection if it:
(a) involves serious violence against a person,
(b) involves serious damage to property,
(c) endangers a person's life, other than that of the person committing the action,
(d) creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public or
(e) is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.
Councils are proven to be funding Cluster bombs that are killing men women and children in Yemen.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/19/uk-pension-funds-cluster-bombs-yemen
This Guardian Newspaper is considered a reputable source of information and this article directly implicates UK Councils investing in Terrorism, through investments in Local Authority Pension funds.
Apparently Cambridge Councils have been channeling money into Hydraulic Fracturing a process that is liable to damage the water aquifers and contaminate land in England. The largest act of Terrorism in UK history.
https://www.varsity.co.uk/news/16054
Do you deny that Huntingdon Council is funding terrorism or is your position that you openly fund terrorism and I should just pay?
--2- - You claim that the Council if following procedures set out in the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and the Council Tax (Administration & Enforcement) regulation 1992 for collecting Council Tax.
The Council Tax (Administration & Enforcement) regulation states:
34.—(1) If an amount which has fallen due under regulation 23(3) or (4) is wholly or partly unpaid, or (in a case where a final notice is required under regulation 33) the amount stated in the final notice is wholly or partly unpaid at the expiry of the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the notice was issued, the billing authority may, in accordance with paragraph (2), apply to a magistrates' court for an order against the person by whom it is payable.
Please provide a copy of the Application made to the Magistrates court and a copy of the Magistrates Court Order that was applied for and presumably granted under these regulations i.e. A copy of the Liability Order issued by a Magistrates Court.
--3- - The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement (TCE) Act makes ‘no reference to limited companies acting as an enforcement agent’, only to individuals, leaving bailiff companies unrecognised as entities in enforcement law, and also unregulated. https://realmedia.press/bailiff-companies-acting-unlawfully-local-authority-contracts-says-independent-review/
How exactly are these charges issued by unrecognised entities in any way lawful?
I look forward to your response on my Application for a discount in Council Tax. I see no better reason to you to use your discretionary powers to ZERO my Council Tax to prevent me from being arrested under Article 3 Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Kind Regards,
Lacking any of the Legal requirements of a Magistrates Court issued Liability Order, this is what the Councils are relying on to send private debt collectors to intimidate people into paying. 62 people, from 2016-2017, in the UK have served prison sentences based on these fraudulent documents. The fake liability orders lack the Court Seal or Court Stamp, They have no Court Coat of Arms and the signature is illegible and does not identify the "Justice of the Peace" who is purported to have signed this document. It is also clearly titled a Council document:
Dear Mr Davies,
Council Tax:
Thank you for your communication dated 18th October 2018. I address your points in order:
1. I have raised serious questions relating to where Council Tax money is being channelled. I have provided detailed evidence that suggests that your Council may be funding terrorism in breach of Article 3, Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
I note that you have failed to address a single point that I have raised or to give me any assurance that the Council is not funding Terrorism!
Notably, in my last letter, the Guardian Article on this subject suggests that Council Tax is funding cluster bombs in clear breach of the Geneva Convention.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/19/uk-pension-funds-cluster-bombs-yemen?
In my intial application for a discount under Section 13a, I raise a number of other points which you seem to just dismiss without proper investigation or consideration. You have so far not repsoned in substance to any of the issues I have raised.
Is it your position that even though Council Tax is openly funding acts of Terrorism and breaching Criminal UK and Internation Law, I should just pay without questioning where the money is going?
It is a matter of the highest priority taransending any UK Statute or Law that my religious and ethical beliefs prevent me from doing harm to others either by action or inaction.
As 151 officer, you have an obligation to investigate if the Council is funding terrorism and file a report with the police regarding this criminal behaviour.
I have made this application pointing this very serious criminal behaviour out to you as soon as I have become aware of this situation. You can very easily use discretionary power to ZERO my Council tax bill so that I am not being asked to fund acts of Terrorism.
If it is your position that the Council in NOT FUNDING TERRORISM. I would like your PERSONAL ASSURANCE on this fact. This is the very least you can do and It will allow me to move forward with making arrangements to pay what is owed with a clear conscience. If you fail to provide this assurance, I will take it as a confirmation that your Council is indeed funding Terrorism in breach of Article 3, Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
2. You claim that you have provide a copy of a Magistrates Court Liability Order. On inspecting what you have sent, you seem to have provided a document printed by the Council. Notably on the top is titled Huntingdon District Council. It seems to be a document addressed to the Clerk to the Justices created by a Council Emloyee called Andrew Howes. It is signed by him and is NOT a Liability Order.
You have provided another document also titled "Huntingdon District Council" and then "court list" that has an illegible signature above the words "justice of the peace". Neither document bears any Court Seal or court crest and therefore cannot be considered a Magistrates Court "liability order".
Please provide a valid Liability Order with Court Crest and clearly identifiable Magistrate so that I check the register of Magistrates to see if the person who signed this document was acting under his oath of office as a Magistrate. Failure to do this will confirm that you DO NOT hold a valid Liability Order issued by a Magistrate sitting under his oath of office.
3. Please note that without the assurances requested above, any representative that you send to "levy distress" will be in breach of Article 3, Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and will be liable to be arrested under this act.
You use the word "enforcement agent", when you should be aware that in the UK "enforcement agents" must registered as such on the UK Enforcement Agent Register.
http://certificatedbailiffs.justice.gov.uk/
I note that as you are instructing Jacobs, they have NO authority to collect Council Tax on befalf of the Council, so any of their Fees are disputed and no payment will be made to them:
https://realmedia.press/bailiff-companies-acting-unlawfully-local-authority-contracts-says-independent-review/
So in conclusion, I will not be co-operating with Jacobs as they are not valid "enforcement agents" and I challenge you to PROVE that the information I have provided is "factually incorrect" rather than adopting the approach of IGNORING all may claims. I have in actual fact conducted "due diligence" in this matter and found so far you have been unwilling or unable to address a single point that I have raised.
I ask you again to consider my application for a discount to ZERO under Section 13a of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
Regards,
(Against failing to deny that the Council is funding Terrorism)
Dear Mr Abdullah,
Thank you for your response to my letter dated 18th October 2018. I will respond in the order of paragraphs in your latest letter (22/10/18).
(1)
In my letter I offered you the opportunity to make a credible application for Section 13A relief. Your latest letter merely duplicates your accusation that the district council may be funding terrorism. If you wish to review our annual accounts, you may do so – www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk – if you find any evidence to corroborate your claim, then I suggest that you seek legal advice as to how you should take the matter forward.
My decision regarding your application for Section 13A relief remains unchanged. If you wish to appeal the decision, you may contact - www.valuationtribunal.gov.uk In the meantime, the outstanding balance remains to be paid, and I would urge you to contact the Enforcement Agent to agree a payment plan.
(2)
You are correct, the document was printed by the district council. It is common practice for the Appellant to provide a list or statement detailing the facts of the case for which a court order is sought. The application was made in open court, and you were at liberty to have attended the hearing if you so wished. I do not know the name of the Magistrate that signed the Liability Order application, but I am sure that the Magistrates Court would be able to tell you their name, and to confirm that a Liability Order was legally obtained, if you wish to contact them.
(3)
If you believe that an Enforcement Agent is acting illegally, by visiting you to discuss payment of the outstanding debt, you may contact the Police, or your own legal representative, to confirm the legality of their visit.
In conclusion, you have provided no credible evidence that you are entitled to relief under Section 13A, I have provided you with legally sufficient evidence that a Liability Order has been issued, and you have a means of checking the legality of any visit by an Enforcement Agent, if that becomes necessary due to you failing to co-operate.
As an alternative, it is not too late for you to abandon your current argument, which is based on incorrect advice that you appear to have gleaned from the internet. Instead, you could contact the Enforcement Agent and request a payment plan, so that you can clear the arrears over a reasonable period of time.
Please note that, unless future correspondence from you includes new, factual, and relevant information that leads us to alter our current position, it will not be answered.
Regards
