Hi

Hope you can help - newbie here.

I am in Scotland and had a business which was sold at a loss in sept 08. Last week a sherrif officer sat outside my house until my wife came home and presented a Charge for payment for rates due in Financial year 2008/09.

 

As this charge relates to a portion of the financial year that we were not in the business property can we put this into dispute?

 

Also if this relates to a business which was a Ltd Co but the rates were in my name - can we pursue this as a claim against the company?

 

I have written to them (is the best way?) explaining that we did not have the business for the whole of 08/09 and that the business has been disposed of at a loss and there are no funds to pay this request. Do I need to do anything else?

 

thanks in anticipation

you should communicate by letter only and get onto the council asap contact the councils legal department and the finance office, and your local councillor, they all work for us as taxpayers.

 

Also keep all letters from Sheriff Cowboys and dont let them into your house or be bullied by them.

 

get the cowboys to explain why its against your name and not the company. Ask for reply within 7 days.

 

Is the company still trading ?

 

 

If you do owe the money then put it in writing what you can afford and when you will pay i.e weekly/monthly.

 

DO NOT BE BULLIED BY THEM

thank you for your help - i am seeing my accountant on friday and we will send them a further letter with the relevant info. Hope they stay away from the house but I hear that they have been very active recently with the number of businesses that are having to close and default on rates. It's hard enough with out this too!!!
