Hi - I hope someone can help.
This morning, I received a Liability Order Notification from my council for unpaid Council Tax. It states that a "Liability Order was granted on 11/09/2008 for £1,416.35 including £95 costs" but then goes onto say I now owe £802.50.
The other thing that confuses me is why they've waited for 6 years and 1 month to tell me about it. Could it be that they now don't have to provide me with the original LO as 6 years have passed?
I did speak to the council on the phone in January 2013 after receiving a letter saying I owed abut £2000. I told them I had been living overseas and had sublet my flat. They told me on the phone £11,934.20 was now owed by me as I couldn't prove who was living here at the time as I hadn't informed them I was living overseas. I then received this email and statement from the council on 8th January, 2013:
"I write further to your call to this office.
I have enclosed a statement of account for your reference.
From the statement of account you will see that a total of £9746.18 was written off (suspended from recovery action) as advised. The total outstanding balance on this account is £11934.20 for the period 1 April 1996 to the 30 September 2008.
As discussed, in order for me to consider a monthly payment arrangement for you to repay this balance, please complete the attached Incoming and Outgoing Form and return to this office as a matter of urgency. I will then call you so we can discuss this further.
I hope this clarifies the situation to you.
If you have any queries regarding this letter or your Council Tax, please telephone us......."
I replied the same day by email saying "Please send copies of all Liability Orders for this debt." I never heard another word until today.
I have been paying council tax since 2009/10 from memory so am very surprised that the council didn't contact me at any time since they obtained the LO in 2008.
What should I do?
