Sitting at work today, gets a call from the sheriff officers about council tax debt for past two years. Now i have an email from them saying its clear. Cut a long story short, reads the council the riot act, and gets this reply....
'I have contacted Scott and Company regarding the phone call you received and it
transpires that a spurious account was created when altering a date for a
previous tenant of this property and it had progressed through the reminder
stages to warrant.
When I checked previously the date was not altered so this did not show up.
The account was cancelled today and I apologise for any inconvenience and upset
this has caused you and confirm that there are no monies due.'
Now the question is...... how did they find out where i work to phone me? I know how they track your bank account down........
