Looking for a bit of advice Came back from family holiday on Friday to find a charge for payment of money from a Sheriff Officer for Council Tax owed to Dundee City Council. The council tax owed is from the period 2004/05 - 2006/07. I will admit that I owe it but back then I was living in 2 Student Flats and then renting a friends house. I had just ended my uni course early and got a minimum wage job. Yet the council tax on a 5 bedroomed flat was way more than I could afford and the same on the student flat I moved into secondly, so I just left it as I couldn't afford the rent and the council tax. Very naive to not even think that I might have been entitled to any kind of help. Anyway, according to this letter there were 5 warrants issued ranging from 09/09/05 - 6/02/07. Since moving to Glasgow back in 2006 I have never heard a thing from Dundee City Council until a letter about the middle of May this year. Again I didn't really read it properly so ignored only for this letter to be put through the door. I phoned them up and they will only talk to me about coming to an arrangement if I pay the £76 sheriff officer expenses first. I have told them I don't get paid again until start of July so they have put a hold on it. What I am wondering is, can council tax debt become statute barred? Also, can they make me pay the £76 before coming to an agreement as I can't really afford to pay that off my wage, then I worry they wil say I paid that ok so I can afford that amount every month
