I WAS reading the letter by the friend of Mrs Doris Crystall, when she asked your readers what they thought about the council's unfair treatment in harassing her friend to pay extra rent, just because she had a small pension from the same borough she worked for.

The friend should know by now that it would be much harder for the council to get off its backside in its comfortable offices to chase after the real criminals who have no intention of paying any rent.
