Summary Warrants - Council tax

Hi Guys,
I received a summary warrant for council tax I was unaware I owed. I am worried this may affect my credit score. If it helps I'm in Scotland. Does anyone know if it will. I've look online and it looks like it doesn't but doesn't mention if it's Scotland or just England?
Thank you!!:)

Thank you!!:)

You don't have a credit score, but you do have credit files - three of them.
Check them all at MSE Credit Club, Clearscore and Noddle to see what appears.0 -
Have you sorted the Warrant out, surely this is more important than whether a fictional score will be affected?0

Your credit files will not be affected as council tax payments are not reported to CRA's.
Non-payment of council tax is a criminal, not civil, matter and the warrant will have been issued by a Magistrates court. I suggest that you pay ASAP to avoid the possibility of being sent to prison.0 -

It won't be 'issued by a Magistrates court' since none exist in Scotland.
I won't appear on CRA records as is.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
