Yesterday, which started with freshers' flu and the discovery that if one must be sick, then doing it with the light off is somehow less horrible, ended on a similarly bum note with the discovery that I've been overpaying my council tax since February, because the single occupier discount wasn't being applied - the letting agent had informed the council of the tenancy, and somehow I had assumed that the discount had been included. It hadn't. Fortunately the man on the other end of the phone this morning said they'd send me a new statement and recalculate the year, so I don't think I'm going to end up overpaying, which is probably more than I deserve. Moral: double check these things!

Gah! I hope they get the recalculation sorted (on the plus side, presumably your next bill will be substantially lower?)

Don't they give it back to you if you overpay? That's shocking. How on earth did you find out?

My council tax stopped being collected as someone else had registered my address as their home and started to pay it instead... generous of them, but confusing.
