Take the bill to the council office with a £50 note and ask if they have change.
Ask if you can setup a monthly DD
With two half penny coins.
Do they still exist?
I wouldn’t , hopefully end up in court
Don’t pay and wait for the baliffs to come round then give the baliffs 1p.
One of those giant chocolate penny’s from Poundland.
Ask to pay in installments
How is there not a system that just writes off debts like this?
The costs involved for sending that to you far outweigh the penny they’re trying to collect 🙄
Ask to pay over 12 months
Someone in London who doesn’t pay peanuts for the council tax what in the world!?
By cheque. For the written amount: “No Pounds Sterling and one of His Britannic Majesty’s shiniest pennies.”
Cheque
Pay with a cheque for 2p and then move out of the area so they can’t apply a 1p credit on your bill, and then send them a repayment demand for 1p threatening court action if they don’t pay within 14 days.
With a 2p and a note saying “I expect change”
In installments.
I would pay by cheque as it will cost them a lot more than 1p to go about cashing it.
Your council tax is less than mine for a band D in the north east.
A postage stamp (not that penny black you’ve got in the drawer though)
Buy and learn to cycle a penny farthing, go to thy council office. Produce an old Victorian penny from under thy top hat whilst singing “Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes..” 🎶
Tape a penny to the letter, shove it in an envelope and post it to them without a stamp. They’ll have to pay for the postage.
It cost them more to print that out and at a guess post it to you!
Id ring them up and tell them not to bother with the next letter and take the 1p out of that
Ask for an installment plan.
Via installments
Assuming the 1p was for the costs incurred to sent the bill itself, I’d just send them back a replacement piece of A4 paper.
Leather jacket, motorbike, cigar. Ride up to city hall and toad the 1p coin at them. Say “keep the change”, do a wheelie and then tyre spin out of there in a cloud of smoke.
Zimbabwean cents in 200 instalments of 1 cent.
pay it in pennies 🤪🤪🤪
Send them a cheque for 2p then follow up with a letter stating you have over paid and they need to pay back the difference.
Surely you can just call or email them to ask if they’re taking the piss?
Credit card is the best way to pay 1p bill as it will cost more to process the card transaction for the government #need-to-fuck-these-scammers!
Accidently pay with a 1 euro cent at the post office
Use a banker’s draft from an offshore bank account in Jersey or IoM. It’s going to be expensive but entertaining.
Post them a cheque for £0.01 – and invoice them for postage 😂
