A delighted dad has explained how he won back £910 in council tax by challenging his banding after picking up the tip from Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis.
Ryan, 34, who lives in Manchester, had been paying too much council tax for over four years. His property was classed as Band B but after he challenged this, it was moved down to Band A - meaning he was entitled to a rebate.
Ryan told The Mirror that he used to pay roughly £1,400 a year for his council tax. While waiting for the decision on his council tax challenge, he moved house with his partner and son, Bowie, 2 - but estimates his bill would've gone down to around £1,200 had he stayed in the property. Ryan was still entitled to the money back on the years he had overpaid in his privately rented property.
