Council Tax debt

in Cutting tax
My partner has his wages arrested every week for council tax debt, this has been on going for a while and I am not sure which years this is for. as this was accrued before I moved into the property. I moved in around 2008/2009 and I am paying off arrear for 2009 at £50 a month and this is due to finish in December.
WE have since moved to another property and paying council tax monthly as requested.
Shall we now be liable to pay off more of the arrears which my partner is getting his wages arrested for? Or if it was before I moved into the property are they only able to arrest parteners wages as they are doing just now.
We are in Scotland if that makes any difference? thanks fro your help.

They can only recover the money from your partner (or anyone else who was jointly liable for the council tax at that time)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.0
