It is common opractice for councils to reschedule council tax arrears moving forward. Therefore, as long as you live in the jurisdiction of that council, it is unlikely that the arrears will be written off.

if you are concerned that the Council may debit more than you have agreed (under a direct debit that is possible) ask the council to accept a standing order arrangement. The sum debited on a standing order, and the date on which it is debited, cannot be revised by anyone other than you.
Yippeee!
Im getting there!
