TO ALL,
I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT IF DAD IS AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY GETTING CARED FOR, BECAUSE HE IS SO ILL THERE SEENS TO BE NO COUNCIL TAX PAYABLE. I HAVE TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT. HAS ANY BODY HERED OF THIS BEFORE ?

THANKS DEBBIE, WE TAKE EVERY DAY AS IT COMES THERE ARE MORE BAD DAYS THAN GOOD.

I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CAB SOME WILL RING ME BACK TOMORROW WITH SOME ADVICE. I SPOKE TO THE COUNCIL TODAY APPARENTLY THE 50% FOR THE PROPERTY BEING EMPTY HAS NOW BEEN STOPPED. IF THE PROPERTY IS EMPTY YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO PAY THE FULL 100% COUNCIL TAX SURLY THIS CANT BE RIGHT.

THANKS MELANIE,RAINBOW, SOULGROWTH,CHRIS.G.FOR YOU COMMENTS. I HAVE JUST LOOKED AT THE DEMAND AND NOTE THE DATE IS NOT THE 7TH OF JANUARY BUT THE 7TH OF FEBRUARY SHALL I SET JUDGMENT A SIDE BEFORE THE 18 DAYS ARE UP?

I WILL DO JUST THAT.

IF THE COUNCIL WHERE NOT AGREEABLE WHAT WOULD I DO CONTACT THE COURTS AND EXPLAIN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF SERVICE. ALSO INFORMING OF THE WRONG AMOUNT ON THE DEMAND. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN TO THE DEMAND?

THANKS MELANIE,
I HAVE ALREADY RANG THE COUNCIL TO FIND OUT WHAT ONE WOULD PAY FOR THAT LOCATION IF OCCUPIED OR UNOCCUPIED. THERE FIGURES THEY STATE IN THE DEMAND IS COMPLETELY WRONG.

THANKS RAINBOW,
THE COUNCIL HAVE ESTIMATED FULL COUNCIL TAX ON THE EMPTY PROPERTY, AND YES THEY HAVE THE FIGURE SO WRONG. MY FATHER IS NOT ON ANY INCOME WITH HIM BEING SO SICK. I WILL DO AS YOU SUGGEST, FINDING OUT IF INDEED HE COULD APPLY TO BACKDATE HOUSING BENFIT.THANKS ONCE AGAIN

THANKS MELANIE FOR YOUR REPLY, I WOULD BE QUITE SURPRISED IF THE COUNCIL HAS, AS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NO ONE LIVE THERE, AND NOT FOR SOME TIME. THEY WOULD SURELY HAVE TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE WE WOULD RETURN SEING SIGHT OF THE DEMAND IN TIME, MAKE THERE INTENTIONS KNOWN IN PERSON. THEN GIVING US THE CH...
