    Yes - but they sent me a plan for 10 instalments
    My bill came with the usual 10 month installment plan. It did say in the small print on the back that 12 month plans were available.

    I emailed in and they sorted it out no problem. I did have to switch payment date from the 1st to the 8th though.

    Although, presumably depending on the council, they may not enforce these requirements......
    That's true, but its up to the council if they do so. If they do then they can take action against anyone who doesn't pay as shown on their bill.
    Although, seeing earlier posts, I also enquired about discount for paying in full and was told none available - also she didnt know that other councils did this .......
    Most council's don't use this option and so staff would probably not know about it. The council have to foot any costs of the reduction so for that reason many don't
    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.

    No - but I knew that I could pay in 12 instalments
    I had to put my request in writing - there was not mention of 12 months on my bill so I went in and asked - did letter there and then and got a receipt for it, - they have a knack of misplacing paperwork so always best to take in person.
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.

    I got my council tax bill today :(
    It said on the back that I could ask to pay over 12 months, so that is what I have done
