Summary (the LGO's words, from its website)

We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about the Council’s recovery of council tax. This is because it is reasonable for her to use her right of appeal to the Valuation Tribunal and it is unlikely further investigation by us would lead to a different outcome.
