Ban councils from selling council tax debt to debt collection companies

Change the law to stop local councils selling council tax debt to debt collection companys

Covid has had a dramatic impact on the uk as a whole. With an uncertain future ahead and many jobs having already been lost debt is unfortunately a prospect for many people. Councils have to stop the practice of selling council tax debt to heavey handed debt collection agency's. The practice is out of date and penalizes those on low incomes.
