Re: Council Tax Payment and Bailiff Harassment
Hi again js15 !
The simplest answer I can give you here ( without knowing the exact full story ) is to provide the council with everything they ask for here with relation to providing evidence of identity. Don't on this occasion send original documents in the first instance but do photocopy everything clearly and possibly get someone at your local Citizens Advice Bureau to sign them to the effect that they are exact and true copies of the documents that you have copied. Their rubber stamp will do wonders!
This is of course assuming that you continue to deny any liability or involvement with the alleged residence. Remember that you don't have to own a property to have a council tax liability, you merely have to remain a primary resident. Even squatters can be subject to a council tax liability if ever their names were known!
If there is any doubt whatsoever to your claims then you do need to be frank in resolution. I spent 23 years debating such things with the public and its very easy to deny everything in the hope that it will go away. And to be fair, it's so easy to reach confusion especially if you were going through other demanding issues at the time. Please come back if you need any other help.
