If you have not paid your Council Tax and you have been summonsed, we may start bankruptcy proceedings against you.

First, we will send you a statutory demand that will give you 21 days to pay us the full amount.

If you receive a statutory demand, you should contact us immediately.

If you do not settle the statutory demand, we will present a petition for bankruptcy in the High Court.

If we issue a bankruptcy order against you, this will mean:

The official receiver will investigate your affairs

Your bank accounts will be frozen

You will lose your credit rating and be blacklisted from getting any more credit, and you could be forced to sell your home to pay your debts.

If you are made bankrupt, the official receiver will control your spending for three years.
