    Don't quote me as I am not 100% sure but I think what happens is if they cannot gain entry or talk to you after they have tried a couple of times they will then pass the debt back to the council.

    Please get in touch with the guys in the link that has been posted they are very knowledgeable on the all of this and will help.

    ive jus been told that usually if council dont get the money it gets sold to the baliffs and best way to stall them is for my house mates to tell them ive done a bunk and they legally cant look round the property etc and then in that case usually gets passed bk to the council

    You can ask the council but they dont have go for an Attachment of Earnings.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
