Re: Council Tax...
I've paid several of his debts including council tax, the last council tax was in 2004 when I asked was anything else outstanding and they said no... Now I've received this letter at a different address than the one I moved to when we split up. I've lived here over 3years and been split from him for 10years.
I have in the past told them, where he lives and who he works for, but they seem to take me has the easy option.... I thought I'd got through it all and was starting to have a life for myselfComment

Re: Council Tax...
Council tax debts are jointly and severally liable, which means that whoever lives at the property is liable for the debt. However, if you have been separated for 10 years then you are not responsible for his debts since you separated.
If you are still on speaking terms maybe you could ask if he has paid anything towards the debt also.Comment

Re: Council Tax...
No I'm not on speaking terms with him.
Can they now come after me for this money. I've heard nothing from them in 6years, since I paid the last one and was told there was nothing elseComment
