Hi there, this is my first post so apologies if this dilemma is elsewhere. I did do a search first but couldn't find anything similar. I received a single person discount declaration form asking to update/verify my circumstances. This spd has been in effect since 2014. The house in question was bought be myself and my partner, and was a complete refurb. We was exempt from paying any council tax for the first 28 days and after that was moved onto a spd even though nobody was living in the property (due to the heavy renovation being done); This took around 12 months to complete. As stated earlier I had registered for the spd. Once the work was completed my partner moved into the house but I remained at my mothers house (due to the fact that we are not married). Although the spd and council tax had remained in my name. I called the council to explain the situation and they're now saying the following: - we are liable to pay full council tax from 2014 - 2015 as the spd is on the basis that someone living in the property (even though it was empty) - we are liable to pay full council tax from 2015 - 2017 based on the fact that my partner was living there alone and the council tax was in my name If anyone could advise what I should do I'd be greatly appreciative Thanks you in advance -
Dear All Quite a difficult one here and I'm at fault for being stupid but I'm now paranoid over benefit fraud, prosectution etc. story is this Moved into new place Oct/Nov 2011 Initially was Singler person paid as such but then partner moved in gradually over next few months. I never changed council tax and simply sent the form off April 2012 and 2013 and continued the SPD as the relationship was on again-off again etc. I now have an SPD review letter. I've rung the council up and changed it so we are now both on it but I need to send the SPD letter back. I told the man on the phone in a panic she had just been here a few months but obviously they have details of when mail etc was sent here (note her mail sent here initially prior to her moving in fully). I want to fix this and pay back the arrears but I'm paranoid anything else I say will get me in more trouble and get me prosectuated. i did ring the coucil and expalin this - the lady didn't really understand and said that if I just fill int the SPD form that would generate a bill if any monies are owing. I want to go in to the council to speak to them but think I'll ramble and get myself into more trouble! The amount owing would be 2x25% - so about 600quid and I could pay it back there and then! Any advice?
