Have you applied to your local council for Council Tax Reduction?

Try one of the online benefit calculators for any other help you may be entitled to.

Council Tax is a priority bill because there are serious and costly consequences for not paying:

Hark at the distant sound of hooves trip-trapping over someone's bridge.  They have a ring of déjà-vu about them … 

Although in fairness the previous one's schtick was all about rent, so maybe this one is branching out slightly.  

(I thought maybe I was reading too much into the username the first time bells rang, but perhaps not.  Your fictional namesake was an honourable man and people actually wanted him to come back every time.)
