Council tax arrears - advice needed...

2»

Comments

  • I have council tax arrears too.

    Last year they sent me a statement which i didn't understand, had figures from previous years etc and was asking me to pay less than what i do monthly. I ignored it as i knew it had to be wrong and carried on paying my monthly amount.

    Last week i got a court summons for £1400. I called them and they told me i owed £2100. They said they would send a calculation sheet so i knew how they'd worked it all out, instead they sent a 2nd demand for payment (for £800 this time), otherwise they'll take me to court! I didnt get a first demand and they're already taking me to court :confused:

    Im just going next week to court with all my confusing letters, all of which show different amounts and let them deal with it.
