Regarding a response to this I am thinking Do Not Call. Maintain communication via Registered Mail.
The way I see it, there is no reason for Council to invoke the Privacy Act. They have no reason to. I have not asked for any details, whether personal and/or financial etc from anyone. I have asked, what I consider, a general question. Can the surety of the Person be used to discharge this public debt? It's a simple yes or no.
I'm not interested in a discussion. I want an answer to a question. So I am of the opinion that sending a response stating the above is the way to go..
I think there is perhaps more in this response than what I am seeing.
re reading this, the CR has simply dusted his hands of this and passed it on. I guess if he receives enough of these letters there may need to be response or action from him directly. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes, if you have provoked their interest and there is talk or they just want to sweep it under the table?
Another response but this time to my third letter to Hume City Council regarding Rates.. Didn't hear anything back from the second but she does acknowledge receipt of it as can be seen.
I'm curious that she doesn't know (Or claims not to know) about surety/security of the person.
Here in Australia, we have no Bill and/or Charter of Human Rights (Those countries that do mention security of the person). I'm thinking perhaps this fact alone may have a lot of these people clueless as the rest of the masses and if so, why she may not know. If her response is genuine of course
I'm a little bit stumped on how to reply to this. Pete or anyone else have any tips??
i always love it when they use the privacy bullshit .............. we all know by now it doesn`t exist and means nothing When you owe them money because they give it to a third person (collections). Its always best to let them know right up front before you sign any thing that you to have a privacy policy and the release of any of your personal information to any third party including law enforcement and gov`t subjects them to a fee of 5000.00 for each offense
