I own my home but had need to move out and rent private elsewhere with the intention of either selling or renting my home. I notified the council tax department of this on July 24th. I received a response from them on 15th August asking for further information which I gave to them the day after. I then waited until 11th October for a reply which apologised for the delay and said I should receive a new bill in the next few days. It also said that a summons may been issued to me but which I should ignore as it had been withdrawn.
A few days later, I received the bill and the summons and something just told me to ring and check it has been withdrawn and to my horror, it had not and I was told that it wouldn't be due to my not offering to pay by installments! I asked how I was supposed to do this if I had not received the bill but they were adamant that it would not be withdrawn.
The email was dated 11th October. the bill was dated 12th October and the summons was dated 19th October.
I note that only particular defence reasons will be accepted (which is on the back of the summons) so which do I use?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
