If you do not pay an instalment on time, we will send you a reminder notice.
This will show:
- How much is overdue
- The date you must pay by (within 7 days) to keep paying by instalments.
If you do not pay the overdue amount or set up a payment arrangement within 7 days:
- You will lose the right to pay by instalments
- The full balance for the financial year will become due
- A Magistrate Court Summons will be issued, the £70 summons costs and an additional £25 if a Liability Order is granted are payable by you.
If you cannot pay the arrears within 7 days, you can set up a payment arrangement.
You will need:
- Your Council Tax reference; this can be found in the 'ACCOUNT NO.' box at the top of your bill or reminder notice.
- Your bank account details (if setting up a Direct Debit)
- The total balance outstanding (not just the missed instalment)
