Hi all, Over 12 months ago now, I was wrongly accused of Benefit fraud by the DWP who stopped all my income with the exception of Child Benefit. My local council then followed suit and stopped my Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support saying they were acting under the instruction of the DWP. To cut a long story short, I went to Tribunal and the Judge ruled in my favour. However, the tribunal was appealing the DWP's decision and not the Council's (I thought the appeal covered both as they acted together but this wasn't the case) I then with the help of the CAB appealed the councils' decision and recently (in the last 2 weeks) they overturned their original decision. I have now received a Court Summons 7 days after receiving an adjustment notice where the alleged "Overpayment" was taken off and the council tax support that I should have been in receipt of has been added. I am not in disagreement that I am in Council Tax arrears, as since all my benefits' stopped I was plunged in to terrible debt. I have been recently making contributions of £10 or £20 as and when I could afford it but there is no way I am able to clear the whole amount. I have requested an income and expenditure form from the Council on 3 separate occasions so that I could make an offer of repayment but I have never received the forms. The summons also has my Partner's name on them, but it is trying to recover council tax off him from periods when he wasn't even living at my address, I'm not sure if this has any bearing? The council have so far made no attempt to repay the Housing Benefit that I was entitled to whilst I was being wrongfully accused of benefit fraud or indeed to refund the money they took from a subsequent claim. If they were to give me back what I was originally entitled too, it would be more than enough to clear the council tax arrears! I really could do with some advice on how is best to proceed with this, obviously I preferably don't want to have to pay the £107 summons fees if it can be avoided. Thank you in advance, CAM
