    Does anyone know what's happening with council tax payments? I found some info that April's payment will not happen, but I don't know whether to save the cash to pay it later, or if we are all missing a payment. Anyone know? 
    That entirely depends on whether or not the local authority will set back the instalment dates or not. There's no current legislation in respect of requiring them to do so.

    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.

    Hi BabyStepper! :smile:

    I got myself locked out of my account when the changeover happened. I have been able to read but not post. There was nobody cheering you louder when you became debt free. Massive congratulations! :smiley:
