If you moved were you aware you still owed CT at your old address? Did you notify the Council you moved? Do you still live in the same Council area?

i was aware i still owed ct, and had set up a direct debit, i moved to a different councill area, the direct debits stopped for some reason, i cant remember so i assumed i had paid off what i owed, and heard nothing from them i notified the council i had moved from the property.

Re: rossendales excessive charges

It sounds as if there may have been a breakdown in communications and nor doubt the Council will say they never received your letter advising a change of address. With Council Tax they are only obliged to write to your last known address.
