I was informed by my local council today that although I included the £350 arrears for the 2008/09 year in my bankruptcy, I still owe them another £260.00 from November 2008 (have no idea where that came from). I told them that it was my understanding that as I went bankrupt in March (this year) then any debt up to that date would be included in my bankruptcy. They said that they had not sent me a bill for that amount yet (apparently it was sent out yesterday after they got a letter from my OR and they are going to write off the £350) so it was NOT a debt so I will still have to pay it - eh! I am totally confused and they are insistent that it cannot be included in the bankruptcy (although they agree that the amount is from before my bankruptcy). Anyone come across this before??
