We didn't live together at the time. He was in full time employment for the whole duration, so no, no benefits. So basically they must have at some point gained a liabilty order between 31/03/05 and 2011? And how would they prove this, I presume they can send us a written copy? It's crazy it's taken them this long to get in touch, perhaps they know that the chances are people wont have any proof so they can't be contested. He's been on my council tax bill ever since Aug 05, so it's not like they didn't know where he was.

Hiya, I've done a search but still a bit unsure on this. My partner has got a letter from the council today asking him to call the recovery team about council tax arrears and included 3 statements. 28/08/03 - 31/03/04 - £0.00 01/04/04 - 31/03/05 - £612.48 01/04/05 - 11/08/05 - £0.00 Now, of course this is 9 years ago now, we only keep records going back 5 years so can't prove if it was paid or not, we're not aware of this debt, any debt he may have had was paid as far as he was concerned. I'm going to phone the council on Monday on his behalf to get more information, but can I have some advise on what I need to ask? I'm getting mixed messages about if Council Tax is indeed enforceable after 6 years or not, it seems to be down to when an LO was obtained? Thanks.
