Can Council Tax Send Commital To Prison Orders to an Address Person After Not Live

[HoorayForPeePee]

I received a committal to prison order through the post for my father.

My father doesn't live with me, he has his mail sent here though.

They are after unpaid council tax on a previous address which he lost , repossessed.

So what i am asking is this:

As my dad doesn't live here, only has mail sent here, can the council tax still send letters bossing him about for his unpaid council taxes from the previous address.

His mail comes here, but if i don't see him he doesn't get his mail.

Please advise me!

The reason i ask is because they are advising him that he must appear in court for a second time to answer why he isn't keeping up his monthly payment plan.

Why is your father's mail sent to you?

Maybe you should let them know your fathers address so you dont get bothered anymore with this type of correspondence also did you have permission from your father to open his post?

I'm a little confused here, not only for the reasons given by responses so far.

I've been helping people with Council Tax issues for several years now, and have NEVER come across a council who demand a debtor appear in court to explain why a payment plan has not been maintained. The way they work is they cancel the payment plan, then take you to court; or if it has already been to court and a repayment plan agreed, as sounds the case here, they instruct bailiffs to enforce the liability order.

The situation appears to be unique to your father and your council. I would recommend therefore that you instruct a legal professional, specialising in this area of law and get them to represent your father, if, of course, you know where he is.

Your post does not ring true with me I'm afraid, but if we can help further, feel free to address the above issues and we will do our best.

Has your Father actually received one of these?
