Council tax liability order - magistrates court -does it impact credit agency rating?

scoobie

Hi,

I have had a Council tax liability order issued to me via a magistrates court for a property I don't own but I am dealing with as part of a will as Executor of the estate.

The council have since said this council tax bill was a mistake and the property should be exempt from tax as the owner is dead and probate hasn't been granted yet. They were already aware of this but it seems they had incorrectly assumed probate had been granted and I'd taken ownership.

My concern is , them having taken it to magistrates court, will this have impacted my credit rating? Anyone know?

thanks in advance

No, a CTLO will not impact on your credit rating.

It would be a bigger incentive for some if it did but you're safe in this respect.
