Council tax summons

[needout23]

Hi All

 

I arrived back from a work trip last night to a council tax summons, with the hearing date marked as 23d September, but having received it on September 27th I am now worried.

 

I originally fell behind due to being out of work.

But I have already have a payment plan set up starting October 1st, so I am confused as to why this has happened.

 

Could anybody advise on how to proceed?

 

(The council is Lewisham).

 

Many thanks

its just another way of squeezing £10? out of you for the cost of the LO

 

 

just be mindful

if you break the arrangement

they pass it too a bailiff

they will oly send one letter giving you 7 days to sort it

then it will cost you £75

 

 

if that happens they'll be at your door and that will be another £235 .

 

 

so don't mess it up.

pers i'd check with the council [that iS who you made that arrangement with?]

that they are happy and just watch you back..

 

 

might be better to look at you overall finances....?

as things like mobile phone bills/credit/loan/catalogue or ANY other NON priority bills

need to be dropped to a lower amount to ENSURE you keep to the schedule else it COULD cost you +£300 in bailiff fees

Double check with the council but what many council's are doing now is agreeing a payment arrangement subject to the liability order being granted as part of the arrangement - that means they can enforce straight away if the arrangement fails.
