council tax arrears

danielleindebt

in arrears, contacted the council and they said i had to pay £240 a month to stop it going to court! i couldnt pay that and offered £50 as that is all i can manage! they rejected this and are sending for a liablity order to take 5% off my wages which would be £36.

how can they take me to court when i have made an offer? and d/d and they couldnt as it wasnt for the £240 they wanted!

:hello: dan

Send them a soa so they can see you dont
have that much spare each month
send them the amount you can afford
i would send postal order and send it recorded
so if they do try to take you to court
you wil have prrof that you have made an
attempt to clear off your arrears

please do not ignore it they can
and will take you to court

you will get all the advice and support you need here

Hi

Are you paying any other debts? because if you are, you need to stop and to sort out the CT promptly.

COuncils are vetted by the Government as to how efficent they are at collecting CT, so there is a big incentive to send any CT that is not paid to the court for a liability order before the year end.
