Reminder letters, final and arrangement default notices, court summons, court hearing and liability order.
We will apply to the magistrates’ court for a court summons if you:
The summons letter includes:
If more than one person is named on the Council Tax bill, the summons is sent to each person. Only one 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 for a repayment arrangement.
This will not stop our recovery process and we will apply for a liability order.
