Hi,
I moved out of my rented property back in October 2009, which I had council tax remaining to pay, after quite a bit of time I paid quite a lot off and got it down to the last £60, it came to my attention a few months back that £60 balance is still remaining, it was my mistake thinking I had a direct debit set up, turns out the agreement for the last £60 was for me to phone up every month to pay £20 until settled.
I phoned the council to tell them I'll pay the £60 off now, but they tell me I can only deal with the DCA being Rossendales. Which they want £102.50 and have threaten removal of goods (even though this is my parents house/property?).
Reason I don't want to pay Rossendales is because they are trying to add £42.50 to the £60 owed.. and I can't afford that.
I'm currently self employed, back living with the parents, and my income is very very little..
Do I have any rights with not paying the Rossendales charges? I'm happy to pay the original amount owed.
Thanks in advance for any replys.
Matt
