Thank you but despite several letters to the council but they haven't come up with anything solid. They say the account has been ON HOLD due to bailiff activity as of 2011 and then say a Liability order was applied at a summons hearing on the 11th January 2012 but no paperwork was received by us or it would have been dealt with.

We are being chased for a council tax bill from 2010. The council says they had commenced action within a couple of years of the bill becoming due but the bailiffs were unable to collect. To date the council have provided no information as to the court order or why they were unable to collect. I believe this is now a statute barred debt but I have already received two letters through the door by bailiffs chasing this debt. How should I proceed? Jb2019
