Hi
I have received a letter from Bristow & Sutor for outstanding Council Tax. The amount they are requesting is £1153.19. I called them to set up an AFFORDABLE payment arrangement which they refused and told me that I had to pay it all within 6 months - totally unacceptable taking into consideration my current financial situation.
I called my local city council today only to discover that they have not applied the single persons discount to my tax bill since 2011! I now need to 're-apply' to have the situation rectified, which could take nearly 3 weeks for them
to update. I pointed out that since the council has made an error on the amount they are requesting the enforcement agent to recover , then any action on my account should cease until they have the correct figures. I was told no they were not going to accept this and action will continue. I believe this is totally unfair. What am I supposed to do now? Bristow & Sutor are requesting payment in full or a payment arrangement that is totally unaffordable.
Any help would be appreciated.
