I attempted to pay for parking in the city centre one evening. The parking machine took £2, and did not register the money or allow me to eject it. I ended up paying on the Ringo App but unfortunately it used my last parking address, so I ended up getting a parking ticket. Tried to challenge it, and they advised that there was no record of the machine not working and no extra money in it. Thieves I wonder ? And as I selected the wrong parking address the fine was payable. What kind of unreasonable idiot couldn't piece all of this together and see everything was done in good faith. Pathetic. Would like to see a freedom of information request to see how much surplus money is collected from faulty parking machines...

Just seen the ITV News re “Sonia and her grandchildren’s plight” how disgusting you people are at leaving them to rot and not apologising once exposed. Your salaries are being paid by the tax payer. Whoever is responsible for this and your attitudes there, you should be ashamed. You should be sacked.

No way will Birmingham get our money again ( after being hit with 2x £60 CAZ fines. Not knowing how the CAZ worked or
zones. We spent good money to business ( small business as well ). Unfortunately Birmingham. You won’t be seeing us again

Children homeless and these dont care .... DISGUSTING ... EVEN BEEN ON ITV NEWS AND STILL NOT BOTHERERD . TERRIBLE

Received PCN JJ13630602 on 16.12.24 for going into bus lane which was unavoidable. Appealed 17.12.24, instructed not to pay fine of £35 until appeal decision received. Received decision 08.01.25 and told fine was £70 as outside 21 days. Emailed three times but no reply, no phone number worked to help me. Had to pay £70 today - Birmingham City Council have £35 of my money fraudulently.

The appalling incompetence of Birmingham City Council is a compelling reason to leave Birmingham!

I would never recommend anyone to trust birmingham city council for help & support. They will make your life hell destroy your destroy mental health lead you on with lies and throw you in places you would never imagine to be in. They will make you share bath room and kitchen with foreign people who come to uk. And cant speak english and full of diseases. They are very dirty and disgusting no hygiene at all. They leave the door wide open to use the bath room stand naked and piss all over the seat and floor, cause danger by burning the property and cutting all the electric off and flooding the bath room. You keep making complaints but the council ignores and neglects. They put your children at risk knowing they suffer with allergies. I am so disappointed with birmingham city council i would like to move out of this prison breedon road cotteridge homeless centre asap! I cannot share a property with this dangerous witch who keeps risking my kids lifes. Worst thing is when you tell her she laughs about it. She finds it funny. She seriously needs help before she ends up burning the whole block. Birmingham city council keeps trying to move me out of south birmingham. Yet they are aware my kids are not allowed to go out of south birmingham and solihull. And not allowed to move schools. My kids schools are so far from this centre and i am having to wake my kids at 6am to get ready to be on time for school. About time my kids are in school they are exhausted and to tired to study in class. Yet they where about to move me even more further out. Breech the court order and make my kids struggle reaching school on time and back. They already keep falling asleep in class for not being able to have full rest. Cause it takes so long to reach schools and back. They have no rest and no break. It is to much for kids to travel for over an hour long journey everyday. They have really messed my kids about and not once they cared to take my kids health serious. We are stuck living with this disgusting dirty women who dangers everyone and stinks the whole place up with her stinky food and piss.. rotten egg witch. I feel as if we are carrying her dirty filthy scent everywhere with us. Its embarrassing. Either they offer us a private let in yardley or local to yardley/solihull or move us in one of the property i have bid on or put us in a suitable temporary accommodation where my kids are not at risk of danger. And pick any diseases from this disgusting women. Enough is enough. We suffered since 2020 in one after another temporary accommodation we still have nothing. Its about time we was offered a home and settled so i could work full time. Sick of these benefits i want to work full time. I do not recommend anyone to risk there lifes and accept temporary accommodation at breedon road cotteridge. Devon and scotland council is million times better. The management is awful at breedon road cotteridge. The lady burnt the kitchen and it was not safe and liveable specially for my kids who have extreme allergies. The kitchen is still all burnt no work will be done until next year. They requested me to stay at my siblings home over the weekend and will offer r&b on mon but i did not get an offer to move to an r&b. it is over crowded at my siblings home and she needs her own space but council did not offer us another temporary home to stay, they lead us on, i am still waiting for them to offer so we can move but never did. We are homeless and have no where to go. I been contacting them everyday. But i have no respond just being ignored. They did offer us a another temporary accommodation out of Birmingham where they are well aware my kids are not allowed. Court orders. Basically they messed with my kids again. And i do not have a car everyday. And they demand me to go to edgbaston to fill the forms and collect the keys and then go all the way to sandwell. Miles away. What a joke! expecting me to fly over or go on a dam horse!! Jokers!!! They make it sound so easy and simple. How would my kids attend there clubs and schools and how would i go to work.not just moving us out they are also breeching the court order. They are well aware my kids are not allowed moving or leaving south birmingham and schools. Then they try to force us to move to sandwell. I will be reporting to the court. For them for trying to break the court order.

Bin collection service fail several times per year and nobody care about this. Always silly excuses and Can't resolve the issue or send another crew. Of course no problem rise council tax every year ridiculous.

Blocked drain outside my house. It's like an olympic size swimming pool outside my house . Can't log into my account to report the problem. Tried my husbands account to log problem. Still no joy. Awful council.

Awful and do not care.
They tell you lies and then refuse to admit what they have said.
They just do not know what they are doing.
Disorganised and utter rubbish.
No training and very unprofessional.
Thank god I have moved out of West Midlands and will not have to deal with them again.
Totally shocking and utter chaos.
Needs minus stars!!!!!!!

I ordered a repair for a bathroom fan as the other one was loose and rattling.
The fitter ( forgot to take his name )
Was a gentleman, full of knowledge, respectful, and a pleasure to have in my flat .
I am just sorry that I didn't take his name , the job was in harborne on Tuesday 12/11/2024, thank you for being the professional you are

Birmingham city council doesn't even deserve any stars at all as they mess around with peoples emotions and the only way to get a property is to have sex with the birmingham city council employees to get property from them otherwsie they advertise crap housing association's that no bodys wants cos they have bad reptuations so the council just dumps you anywhere if you dont have sexual relations with them and they dont even answer their emails which si very unprofessional

I've already contacted Birmingham City Council - City Housing about this issue about how their staff have not checking contact numbers before issuing out SMS messages, and told the staff to remove my number.. today i received another bleeming SMS! With the person's name and ref number etc etc. Seriously, people sort your flipping staff out! Correcting a phone number is really easy.

useless and does nothing for the city just takes money and fixes nothing and charges more tax every time they can.

My Direct Debit had not collected again and I have called Bham council as Mybrumaccount was no help and I was in hold for 25mins, and then was transfered to the main options page. With all the money you take from us may be you should increase you call centre colleagues? Your service is awful, but I suppose you're fully aware of this.

Can never fault the staff at Sutton Coldfield tip and they didn’t disappoint yesterday morning when I accidentally dropped my car keys in with the cardboard. Big shout out to Richard Lewis who absolutely saved the day!

If I could score zero I would. We were owed money from Council Tax overcharged to our late parents. I filled out the relevant forms with everything required and heard nothing. Every emailI sent was totally ignored. After wasting hours trying to get through on the phone on various occassions I kept being told that they required more information and they lied to me claiming that they could not open my attachments even though everyone else could. I re sent every single thing asked for and still heard nothing. Then eventually got a letter off Parmajit K Manik asking for all the same information that I had already sent 3 weeks ago. Jonathan Woodward Head of Revenues should be ashamed of his department. I can fully understand why BCC are bankrupt they deserve to be. The money was eventually then paid into my account after 3 months, a process that should have taken 12 days. I have still never received any letter or email off them confirming this. BCC have wasted hours of my time. They must be either Fraudulent or incompetent and should be reported.

Lowest of the low, rude, ignorant, dim witted trolls reside in this building. It would be a great gain to humanity if it was swallowed into a massive sink hole.

They removed me from the housing register over 5 years ago despite me having autism and having being born and living in Birmingham all my life.

I tried again to re-apply using there housing choice form on there Birmingham choice website and about 3 months later they e-mailed me to say 'Unfortunately, your housing application was incomplete and has been closed'.

This is despite me including my passport, birth certificate and autism assessment along with other attachments. I can only assume it was because I never included a utility bill.... which I don't have any of! ....as I am living with parents, there is no bills in my name. They also need bank or building society statements showing the name and address of the account holder for the last 3 months... not sure how I am meant to get these as these are all online based these days, (am I suppose to take photos with my mobile camera and print them off!) as well as payslips for the last 3 months. None of this was stated at the time of my application!

To make matters worse they have now closed my account completely so everything I filled in I have to do from scratch which took me ages to do with my carer the previous time, as I found this very hard and difficult to do. I am so upset I have to fill everything in again. I have spoken to my carer and she recommends me to fill it in again with her when I am more emotionally stable, despite not like liking where I currently live.

I just find filling it all in so distressing. This has really effected my mental health I just feel that they don't care about anyone and there main aim is to stop as many people as possible from applying for social housing.

Just wish I wasn't born in this city and had a council that cared.
