Council Tax Liability Order Issued

[Orchid47]

I have received a Council Tax Liability Order because I was one month behind on my Council Tax.

 

 

Ive now paid the month of October this year and Im now back up to date.

 

 

Ive been paying it monthly, but not always on the date it was due.

 

 

The liability order was issued on the 28th Sept and they want a sum way over what I owe for the rest of the year.

 

I make it that I owe another 3 months of Council Tax (Nov, Dec and Jan)

 

What do I do now?

prob just got a fee added about £50

 

 

ring them and check you can stil pay by installments

[mikeymack2002]

Now you have a LO contact the LA and pay it in full before they send your account to the EA that will add £90.ish then the EA will call adding 235ish so clear it now before its too late and save your money on fees...

[i hate bailiffs]

Just because you have a liability order does not mean that you can't pay by installments as you can

 

You need to contact the council and agree payment arrangement and stick to it!

If you do nothing they will pass it on for enforcement via bailiffs

All sorted, arranged for some more monthly payments - shame they wacked me with a £60 additional charge

 

Thanks for your help

I can never work out why a liability order is never issued to the customer..

[Orchid47]

Can I get the Liability Order removed again now, or will it expire at the end of the year?

How do they work?

[Consumer dude]

I always thought liabilty orders stay, but I've never actually seen one one in a paper form..

 

What tends to happen is the local authority and the court have a nice little earner between themselve(s) where the court room is rented out and vast amounts of money changes hands..

[Orchid47]

Can anyone tell me if this Liability Order can be removed at the end of the year when I have finished paying? If Im up to date and paid up why should I still have one?

Once you have finished paying the amount the order states, then it fails to have any effect anyway..

[Orchid47]

But how does it work though because next year my Council Tax Bill will be due again for another year

Do they expire?

Can I get it removed?

[Consumer dude]

How I understand it works, is, a liability order is for a specific tax year so if you get one for one tax year but then fall behind the next tax year, then the local authority can apply for another liability order for that year..

The liability order is for a specific amount (which may be across more than one year) and applies only to that amount. Any other amounts that are due or become due are treated as normal - i.e. you get a bill and a chance to pay as normal.

A liability order needs to be written down and stamped and sealed by the court , as required in schedule 2 of the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement Regulations) 1992 SI 613.

 

Have you actually seen it?

 

I doubt it , ask them for Schedule 2 form A.

 

 

I bet they cannot produce it, as most liability orders are just rubber stamped and no written records are kept,

 

 

UK law jurisprudence would suggest laws and judgements have to be certain and if they are never written down,

 

 

how can the liability order be proved or produced?

 

 

The sheaves of liability orders that local authorities and bailiffs claim to hold cannot be produced

 

 

– so how do we know that they were ever made or that the debt (and those supposed costs) really exist.

1, the thread is more than a year old.

 

 

2, we don't advocate Freemen of the land twaddle here.
