    Some do and some dont - depends on the council.
    My council have no problem accepting credit card payments, but I know not all councils will allow this.
    Have a look on the back of your bill, it usually states the methods of payment.

    We do in the Scottish Borders, and I have just paid mine on an interest free card so that I get the discount of 3.5%, and I can still pay it off the caed monthly.

    Ours doesnt in Dumfries and Galloway. I had probs with them through no fault of my own and they wanted over £300 two weeks before payday and I couldn't pay by credit card. They got a cheque and an extremely snotty letter in January and the cheque still hasn't been cashed nearly 15 months later!
