Hello,
I have received a council tax liability order and need to appeal.
The reason for appeal is
- I have not received the council tax bill despite telling the council to send me - 3 times
- I was not sent a letter for intent of court proceedings
- I was not sent a summons letter
- not being sent a summons, hence not able to defend.
The property was rented to a tenant who left and informed the council a wrong moving date. I told the council that the tenant was lying and sent me an email with the a different moving date and then they did not move out on the agreed date but overstayed. After leaving they did not close the utility bills and I finally got a utulity bill - a different date again - nearly 1 month after they left the property, still no keys returned.
I told this to the council but it seems they did not believe and took me to court without giving me a chance to defend and prododuce the evidence,
How do I go about appealing and possible set aside the judgement?
Any help appreaciated.
Thanks
