According to their letter, a liability order hearing date was 15th June 2000, which I suppose covers them. At that time I was no longer at that address and as I have paid everything they have requested (according to my then status) I was blissfully unaware of this 'bill'. Now they are threatening me with bailliffs action if I do not repay within 14 days. There is no way I can pay that amount. HELP!!

I moved from Liverpool nine years ago. My council tax payments were fully paid, or so I thought. On returning home from work yesterday I was knocked for six when I opened a liability order from Liverpool City Council saying I owed them £548 (covering the period April 1998 to March 1999). Part of my time during that year had been as a student and I moved to out of Liverpool in January 1999. How can they bill me after all this time with no breakdown of the bill. I have lost all evidence that would have supported my dispensation (student/single occupancy) from this payment. Can they get away with this?. Margaret
