Council Tax on Old Apartment

[ark]

I am currently being charged council tax fees on my old apartment. The thing is, the official council tax bill states that i dont owe anything for the council tax, as the entire stay there we were covered by Student Exemption - the charges are only for the 'Billing Authority Costs' for 72 pounds, 'Court Costs' for 3 pounds, and 'Liability Order' for 30 pounds. The total charge came 105 pounds.


They sent the bill (just got it today) to my current apartment, and am just wondering what i should do? Am I liable? Is it better to pay them off?


Any other suggestions on what my next course of action should be is greatly appreciated.

You will need to ask them what they are playing at then.

Did you tell them you have moved,and did you submit the Student Exemption form that you give the council from the uni confirming student status and course dates when you were at the uni? . It is possible they are billing (erroneously) for the time after you left, or have lost your details and exemption somewhere. What bailiffs are these?

Contact the council as per ploddertom and ask what period they are billing for as you were exempt for the whole time.

Silly Buggers, from the looks of it.

Is the council infested by Crapita?

Once we know who the bailiffs are we will know for sure, but it looks quite likely.
