Road tax bill out of the blue

[stuart]

if you hold out for a bill (as you are not billed for council tax, talking fethiye belideye here)you will loose out on 25% discount on paying early, and if you continue to not pay then fines are added to your council tax.

I would agree with Eric et al.
I've had a 2 year running battle with the Belediye, or more to the point, the Baskan, to try and get them to do something with my 'road'.  Always para yok.  Eventually I got my solicitor involved and the Baskan said 'he wasn't going to do the road as there were only a couple of houses there' BUT, he also said 'if I wanted to take the Belediye to Court then he would obviously have to do the road as it was their responsibility'  
I do think it's about time we started fighting back and saying enough is enough.
If as many people as possible, both Turk and yabanci, got together and said to the Belediye 'we're not paying, take US to Court' the Belediye just might review their stance.  After all, how do we know that we're being told the truth?
As for loosing the 25% discount and getting fines, open a bank account, put everyones' money in and see what happens.  If the people lose the money is there to pay and the interest would cover most of any extra costs.  If they won they would be quids in and the Belediye would pick up the court costs. Surely it would be worth a shot.
The rate things are going at the moment it will be the yabanci who end up the poor relations

I'm with you on that one.  How do we go about it?

[my way]

Me too !!!!!!!

I would have thought asking Scunner if a new topic could be started asking all who are interested in fighting it and then emailing each other to arrange meetings, details etc.  If the money is safely tucked away in a notarised bank account what have you got to lose?[?]

[janmack]

It's not quite that easy unfortunately.  Even setting up a complex committee was a bit of a nightmare and sometimes continues to be!

3 people have said (in theory) let's get together and form a group/committee.  Think we need a lot more support than that to get things going.

i seem to remember in the uk when people were put in jaol for not paying their poll tax.

[Scunner]

Yes and the poll tax they didn't pay was a figure that was sent to them at their home address, published for all to see, they could see that they were expected to pay the same as their neighbour with the same size house - and more importantly, they didn't read on a discussion forum that there was going to be a substantial extra payment demanded when they turned up to pay.

This is the correct section for a new topic to start if one is required. If a private discussion area is required it's no problem, but you really need 10+ members wanting it first.

[my way]

Well OK people, what are we waiting for, lets do it!!!!!!

[stuart]

i think you should be very careful what your letting yourself in for if you do go for it and am not exactly sure what you are going for,peece says he wants a road and wants to join with turks, others have got a road and dont want to pay, also that there is a two tier payment system. etc.

be aware you mostly dont know the launguage or the legal system, your up against a democratically elected government body with their own in house lawyers and police force, if you do loose your fight you will be liable for court costs, your lawyers fees , their lawyers fees and fines on unpaid bills.
but good luck anyway..i think you might need it.
