Darlington Misinformation single person discount review Experian

http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Advice%20and%20Benefits/Council%20Tax/singlepersonreview.htm

Another council misrepresenting the position of the taxpayer, and, therefore, misusing the electoral register.

A number of legal mistakes and omissions in this particular one, but it does make the statistical nature of what Experian is doing clear.

It is appalling that this web page has 'advice' on its URL.  Councils should give clear and fair advice but council after council has ignored the lessons learned in the Lancashire pilots and continues to put out inaccurate information.
