I moved into a new place 7 months ago (Band B) and have been making my regular tax payments but about 10 days ago I recieved notice about a liability order from the Council for £1060.00. This letter is written as if I should know all about this and basically tells me that they are sending the bailiffs round. I've not received a letter about this from them before. The letter actually states that I have 7 days to respond before I would have to pay another £300 for court fees, I only opened it yesterday because I just assumed it was a receipt and have been busy at work and dealing with family illnesses.
This must be an administrative cock up right? Firstly my total tax bill for the year is about £1,200 so how I have incurred a liability of £1,060 since living here I'm not sure if that is possible? My tax payments come out by DD.
I have been receiving lots of final warning letters from various utility holders as the previous tenants appear not to have paid any bills whatsoever - these I have handed back to the letting agents to deal with. I am assuming this liability is on the previous tenants rather than myself? It has got to be right?
I just can't believe the Council would be so negligent which makes me worry that it relates back to a previous property and whether I had forgotten any payments.
I'm going to call them first thing tomorrow but I fear that they wont be very helpful TBH.
