I bumped council tax for a good few years a while back .
It was in joint names with a flatmate who bumped it too. We were both on the lease and the council tax
Now I've been paying it back to Scott and Co a debt collection agency for about 4 years
I've paid over half the total outstanding.
do I have any legal way of now getting my name off that debt as I've paid my share.
The other party is a waste of space so has not paid a penny.
I've asked Scott and Co for a itemised statement and also under freedom of information for all comments etc
on their systems as they maintain they still chase the other party.
which I doubt they do.
I'm going to go to citizens advice to ask.
Do I have a legal challenge here or am I stuck with the debt ?
Thanks
