A Class L exemption would be awarded for a re-possessed and unoccupied property - assuming this is shown from the date of the re-possession then charge is due from before that date.

A Class Q exemption would be awarded where the property is under the control of the OR - if only 1 party was bankrupt then the other joint party is liable for the council tax and the exemption should not have been awarded.

Thanks - this is a class L showing. But there is still an amount of 350 and also 60 for costs (whatever that is). Is he not liable for these as he went bankrupt after so should of been in the bankruptcy even though he didn't know about it? Isn't this why the name goes in the paper so creditors can claim debts?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Do we know why he didnt know at the time that there was an outstanding council tax liability?

Was it that the council wrote to the old re possessed address, when you were no longer there AND you had informed them of your new address
or
Did the ex partner hide the information.
or
Something else?

Hey debt doctor,

He didn't know at the time as the ex hid all these things. He didn't even realise the extent of his debt until I got his credit agreement. She also hid reposession letters and everything.

They moved back home so he can't of had any letters there and this is the first he's heard of it (and I've been with him since 2008 and not had anything)

Can anyone confirm if this is definitely included in the bankruptcy and he won't be liable?
