Hi I could do with some advice
I've got messed up with council tax what with being in hospital a few years back and working away from home (merchant seaman). I have paid in the region of £3000 pound to the council and Rundles over the past 2 years.
Because I work away I went to the council about 3 months ago, I waited over an hour to be seen then spent an hour chatting to a council worker sorting out what was owed etc she assured me that everything was now up to date and nothing was outstanding. I did have about £230 outstanding with Rundles which I paid after speaking to the council, I also asked the lady at Rundles if that was everything clear she also said yes.
So of I go to work for 3 months when I returned I find outstanding council tax bills sent to me and letters from Rundles the Rundles letters one for £229 and one for £738.57.
How can they do this when I went down to sort every thing out and they both tell me that all account are now clear.
When I spoke to the council the man who I spoke to said she must have just missed it, why should I be punished or charged for some else's mistake.I dont mind paying the council tax that I owe but I do objecto being charged for it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
