Can she sue me over unpaid council tax?

Could she charge me with a criminal offence such as theft or fraud. This girl has accused me of "stealing" from her before when she has leant me money previously.

 

I doubt it very much. If she did go to the Police, they would more than likely tell her that you need to sort it out between you as it's a civil matter. As long as you return the money to her, I don't think you have a problem.

 

If I were you, I'd keep everything in writing from now on, though.

Sorry, I've just read through your post again and I've realised what is being implied - he's saying that after you've accepted responsibility by paying the money back to her, they're going to try to get compensation.

 

Pretty sure that to do that, she would have to demonstrate some kind of loss, and I'm not sure she can. It might be worth looking into whether or not there have been charges applied to the account which she has paid, and offer to pay these as well (assuming they are of course legal charges!). I know you don't have lots of money floating around, but in the event she does try to take you to court, as far as the judge is concerned you will have shown willing to rectify the error in full.

 

Others may disagree, but I think a willingness to show that you haven't left her out of pocket would go a long way.
