Paying council tax arrears by arrangement

If you are having difficulty paying your council tax or have fallen behind with your payments we may be able to make an arrangement with you. To make an offer of payment please complete the online form. While you are waiting for your application to be looked at you should start making payments of the sum offered immediately, quoting your council tax payment reference. For details on how to make payments please visit the how to pay page.

Failure to keep to an arrangement made with you will result in recovery action being taken to recover the money owed.

Please note that if a summons has already been issued we will continue with its application for a Liability Order against you at the Magistrates' Court. This will result in costs being incurred which will be added to your account. If you receive a summons you do not need to attend the Magistrates' Court in person unless you intend to dispute the legality of the demands issued. Once a Liability Order has been obtained further recovery action will be suspended if an arrangement has been agreed with you and is being strictly maintained.
