Reminder letters, final notices, court summons, court hearing, liability order.
We will apply to the magistrates’ court for a court summons if you:
The summons letter includes:
If more than 1 person is named on the business rates bill, the summons is sent to each person. Only 1 set of court costs is charged
Before the court hearing date, you must pay the full unpaid amount and court costs of £84.80.
Full payment will stop your case being taken to court.
If you do not pay, we will apply for a liability order at the magistrates’ court.
At this stage, you can still ask us for a repayment arrangement.
This will not stop our recovery process and we will apply for a liability order.
