I got the usual bill for rubbish collection together with another message from another department, telling me to state any reasons for non payment... if I couldnt or didnt want to (not sure about that..)pay it...
Since I live too far away from the road to use the weekly bin men service... and less rubbish than ever before...which I manage myself..I said ...
No. Thank you..
Dont think I will pay for this service any more... as I cannot use it.
However....got a letter yesterday... saying I must pay it, and its going up to around 215e...
whaaat!?
I thought...
thats criminal... how many vaccinations would that dosh pay for, for children in x or y countries where the Medecins sans Frontieres do their good work..? They sent a recent note to tell me even a tiny sum like one euro a week, regular payment... saves lives..
That charity is one I like ...
BUT...I must send 200 e... to pay for a service I never use...!!!
??? Is someone kidding me?
I got another letter next day...
To say the huissieres? will come to take my furniture away... if I refuse to pay this money... for this service...
that I do not use.
I thought... wonderful!! reply at once...Im deep into minimalism.. and have one old fridge and a washing machine, that I would be glad for them to carry off to the tip...apart from that ...I have space, work, squished paint tubes and arts accoutrements...and a rolled up futon. END. I dont do `furniture`...
Theres the car... IF they could get it to start...
an ancient laptop with japanese operating system... therefore unsaleable...
and ummmm...cans of cat food?
So how long would I have to stay in gaol? Is the food ok?
And would the debt be recurring ...with compound interest?
Am I REALLY obliged by law ..to cough up,
and pay for ZERO SERVICE?
Can anyone tell me...what the real facts of the situation are?
I cant bear the thought of sending 200 quids to Smitcom...
when I might send it to MSF
thank you for any thoughts........
