Council tax liability order issued

[rippedoff15]

I have been calling and sending emails to my local council as they sent letter of court hearing relating to council tax for this year ending March 2020, the outstanding amount is £510.60, i have offer to repay over Jan, Feb and March but the council won`t reply to my calls nor emails. They have refuse to stop the liability court action and except the payment plan. 

 

I will be making payments as stated any way, but can they do anything else in the way of home visit, the order was issues in 21st Jan 2020.

 

I explained why we have had payment issued as my partners hours have been cut from full time to 12 hours week but they are not interested nor helpful

 

Any feedback will be helpful

Contact your local councillor via email and phone explaining that you would like to pay the remaining balance over Jan, Feb and March. He /she should be able to sort this out rapidly for you.

 

contact details should be available via a Google Search.

 

Explain why you got behind and they should be very sympathetic.

Wonder if this is a Capita infested Council, as in the Revenue back office is outsourced to Capita to run, and Capita also own bailiff companies, Equita and Ross & Roberts. Which council is this?  London1971's advice is salient and make sure you tell the Councillor the office are being bull headed, and they were a bit quick getting the LO, as that will also add £50 or more to the outstanding bill, helping you repay it (NOT)>
