In August this year I received a letter from Ross & Roberts saying that I owe council tax to Gosport Borough Council

, As I left Gosport over 12 years ago I was taken aback by this.

As far as I was aware the rent and c/t was all up to date.

I wrote to R&R to tell them that I was disputing the claim.

I sent a letter about not knowing about the debt and also about CPUTR 2008 and guidance on debt collection

, also I have requested from GBC,

under the FOI anything to do with this.

What I want to know is:

Can they still visit if its in dispute!

Can they still add on any charges!

Can they force entry to where I lodge and remove property (non of it I own).

I ask this as Someone has been round and put a note through the door when no one was in.

Two days latter they were back when my landlord was here and they have threatened him with forcing entry and remove goods

. He was in such a panic about it that he gave them £500.

Can they do this!!!

Until the information from GBC turns up I don't know if I owe it or if they have mucked up some where.

Thanks in advance

You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:

1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you

2 - the dates they were obtained

3 - the addresses they were for

4 - the period of time each covers

5 - how much each one was for

6 - how much is still outstanding

7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement

Did you inform them when you moved?

They wouldn't give any info over the phone so I have to wait for all the info that ive requested

1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you

2 - the dates they were obtained

3 - the addresses they were for

4 - the period of time each covers

5 - how much each one was for

6 - how much is still outstanding

7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement

I did inform them as it was a council flat.

Ive got no choice but to pay the rest otherwise my landlord has said I have to leave which would make me homeless!

They cannot force entry nor do anything else mentioned to him

Tell your landlord to ignore them and they will go away

A 12yrs old ctax debt..urm.. Sounding a bit dodgy esp if there is no liability order

The council should have called him off whilst investigations are on going

!- That's what I told him but he wouldn't believe me

2- Hes to much of a worrier & a wuss to ignore them!!

3- it was on the note put through the door but ive never seen one!

4- That's what I thought too!

Do you still live in the same Council area?

No I don't

Do you still live in the same Council area?
