hi I had council tax arrears what was payed off last july with scott & co and my council tax has been up to date so far but last week I had a missed call on my phone from scott and co saying I am still due 90.37 for 2007 so when I got home from work I phoned the council and they said I was due nothing and I am getting a rebate back from them as I have overpaid I got a text message today from them and I told my husband he phoned scott and co but they would not tell him much but he told them I paid 400.00 to finish the debt last year and she said they had no record of this payment if it was paid by credit card I have proof but the council has told me not to pay them as I am clear what do I do as I am sick of being hounded at work

Hi,

 

Get in touch with the council and ask them for a breakdown of all your Council Tax payments also ask Scott & Co for a record of all payments you have made to them.

Don't pay Scott & Co until they can prove you owe them anything.

 

You should always try to keep a paper trail of all payments made to the Sheriff Officers, they should have given receipts for every payment made on your account.

thank you for that I have had no record of payments from scott and co and it was the council that sorted it out and told them I was owe nothing but I will be phoning scott and co to get all my payment details as if they cant find that I paid 400 pounds they must be due me thank you anyway
