i was made bankrupt on 11.1.11 i have council tax arreas and bailliffs turned up on 3.2.11 with intent of taking property i explained my situation but was told that as the council tax was in both mine and my wife,s name we still had to pay my grand daughter had to give over £200 just to make them leave is this right as i was adviced that all debts were now taken care of by the insolvency people
are you both on the electrol roll and registered at the address?
I previously always stated that all debts could be included in BR however i have since had it pointed out to me that council tax, that the local council could still chase you but most council have acted as grown ups and let it be incldued in BR.
If you have both declared BR then speak to your OR
if you are both on electrol roll and only you have declared BR alas the debt would be classed as jointly and severly which means if you do not pay the whole amount transfers to the other person.
if this is the case make an appointment with local council in the morning, they are normally prepared to agree a payment plan.
Council tax arrears taken care of by br ?
