In the event that you have failed to pay your council tax, the council will then apply for a “liability order” in the magistrates’ court against you. In the event that the court grants the order, this means that the council can do any of the following:
Use bailiffs to get money from you
Take money out of your wages or benefits.
Are you paying too much?
You should look in to whether or not you should ask for lower council tax payments. You may not even have to pay council tax at all. There are numerous ways to reduce your council taxes. Some examples include the following:
Claiming backdated council tax benefit for up to fifty two weeks if you are on a low income, and there is a good reason for this;
Asking for a discount of twenty five percent if you were the only adult in the household;
Asking to have your home revalued;
Not having to pay the tax if only students are living in the home;
Not having to pay the tax if the people living there are severely mentally disabled.
An advisor will phone you for a free consultation.
