Electoral role ( I am being removed from..)

[edhistory]

Further data-matching is taking, or will shortly take place, for:

Adult non-dependents for housing benefit, council tax benefit, and single person council tax discount.

HMRC have announced, but I don't think started, on data-matching for undeclared rents from borrorw-to-let properties.

I assume this is supposed to be a joke.

Judging from his/her posting record, kibris is someone who thinks that he/she is funny but who isn't.

Don't worry, kibris is probably a southwark council employee in the electoral roll department.

I also received this letter and had to send in a clear copy of my passport. Today Southwark have emailed me to confirm they have `added me` to the list... Amusing as i have been in this house for approx five years and voted during this time.

I was asked to confirm online and I know this is where the error occurred as afterwards I would receive two of every letter related to this.

Result: Dodgy gov.UK website!!
