The local authorities claim the banking giant manipulated the interest rates on the products, known as lobo loans.
Councils taking the action are
- Leeds
- Greater Manchester
- Newcastle
- North East Lincolnshire
- Nottingham
- Oldham
- Sheffield
Council Tax is a renewable yearly contract, requiring signatures of both parties & full disclosure. There is NO lawful requirement to pay. CT is administered by private-for-profit corporations, primarily for paying their golden pensions & interest on debts! 30% or less goes to public services! Councils hire private courts & issue their own summons. Time to expose the FRAUD & demand a new system!
Manchester City Council is another corporate criminal organisation, using the local registered inhabitants as securities against massive private borrowing.

Where does all that private borrowing go?
30+% goes to the crooked council's private pension funds.
Another 30+% goes on wages and expenses.
Another 10-15% is paid against the interest on the massive private borrowing
No doubt Manchester inhabitants can think of other ways that the crooked council wastes Public Funds and leaves a minimal amount for Public Services.
