Silly Question? Any Ideas?

HI I HAVE BEEN MADE BANKRUPT BUT HAD NO CONTACT APART FROM A LETTER SAYING I'M BANKRUPT.

TODAY I GOT A LETTER FOR A COUNCIL TAX BILL FROM A COUCIL WHERE I USED TO LIVE. THEY ARE SAYING I'M IN ARREARS WITH THE PAYMENT WE AGREED. I AM IN ARREARS AS I STOPPED PAYING WHEN I FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY AND INCLUDED THIS WITH MY BANKRUPTCY APPLICATION.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
DO I CONTACT THE COUNCIL THE AIB (IM IN SCOTLAND) OR LEAVE IT AND WAIT?
WILL THE COUCIL TAX BE INCLUDED IN THE BANKRUPTCY IM SURE IVE READ A FEW COMMENTS ON HERE SAYING IT WONT AND A FEW SAYING IT WILL.
ANY IDEAS ?:confused:
lots of small steps
will get you a long way

    Hi lou lou.

    Does the letter say or give and details regarding who is your official reciever or trustee in the matter?

    The CT arrears would have been included in the BR order, you would need to either send a copy of the order via recorded delivery to the address on the CT demand and that should be that

    No Trustee Appointed As Of Yet It Seems To Take So Long In This New Scottish System.
    It Just Says That I Am Officially Bankrupt And They Will Be In Touch

    i would suggest then that you get some copies of it made and then send it to the council in question and leave it at that. They will be able to see its official and that no trustee has been assigned yet.

    hope that sorts it for you.

    Hi Loulou,


    Do as Dave says and It could also be worthwhile sending a copy of the letter from the council to the Administrator.
