This is a free step-by-step guide to a potential council tax cashback windfall, possibly backdated to when the system started in 1993.  Already hundreds of MoneySavers have tried and succeeded in getting £1,000s, and thousands more are in the process.

Council tax bills depend on your home's band, allocated based on the property's 1991 value. Yet these were done by “second gear valuations”, meaning estate agents drove past and estimated it. Staggeringly, in England & Scotland it hasn't been revalued since. So check your banding and if it's wrong challenge it and reclaim the backdated £1000s.
