jacobs council tax

[The Prophecy]

Hi,

 

 

just after a bit of advice please,

 

 

have got Jacobs on our back regarding council tax.

 

 

We where originally had an agreement with the council of paying £100 a month,

but we couldn't make the payment one month and they cancelled the agreement and sent it to court.

 

To cut a long story short,

our daughter moved away with her husband who is a royal marine,

she lives down south approx 300 mile round trip.

 

 

I lost my mum in September of last year which none of us expected and I already have ankylosing spondylitis, I also ended up also having a stroke in October.

So I know I can go down the vunrebale way if need be to hold them off.

 

 

We also became grandparents,

our daughter having our first grandchild .

 

 

When I was in hospital I was also diagnosed with depression,

and after my daughter having her son she was eventually diagnosed with depression also,

her grandma was a big part in her life.

 

With her husband being in the armed forces he is away quite a lot

,so we have ended up having to go down quite a bit,

when we really couldn't afford too,

but needed to check she was doing ok.

 

 

This resulted in us having to use money for fuel we really didn't have.

Which is why we missed 2 repayments on our council tax and them taking us to court.

 

 

Looking for some help / advise please on how to go about getting Jacobs off our back.

 

 

Any help advise appreciated.

is this solely this year ctax debt

or is it still an over run of the CTAX issues you were having a few years back.

going by old threads here

What stage of the enforcement process are you at, have you had the compliance letter giving you 7 days, and have you had the subsequent visit ?

[The Prophecy]

Have had a letter stating if I didn't contact in 7 days they would visit.

[The Prophecy]

As far as I'm aware we caught up on what we owed,and I'm sure this is for this year.

[Peterbard]

You need to contact them with a realistic payment proposal, preferably one that will pay this years tax before April next year

Tell them that you are prepared to supply an income and expenditure breakdown if needed, you must try and avoid the enforcment stage and the additional fee.

 

Come back on here and tell us what they say.
