N User Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Right i'm moving house next friday and so I've phoned chesser house a couple of times to arrange things re my council tax. Twice i've phoned them and twice as soon as I said "I'm moving house on.." they've actually hung up on me. So does anyone have similar experiences advice? Would it be advisable to just cancel my direct debit and just start my council tax up anew at my new property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 You should check to make sure your solicitor isn't doing it on your behalf. There used to be a form they would send off to advise of your change of address on settlement day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 i've had bad experiences with 3 councils over ctax. i think people have to be stupid to work there. best advice i can give you is work out exactly what you're owe (owed?). divide your years bill by 365 then multiply it by the days you'll be spending there and thats what you're owe them. if you over pay you'll never see the money again. i had to correct a woman at the council 4 times when she tried to overcharge me before telling her how to work it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams bird Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know someone who has never paid a penny to his council tax.. Just ignores the letters, and they dont pursue it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know someone who has never paid a penny to his council tax.. Just ignores the letters, and they dont pursue it.. I know someone like that. They, inevitably, caught up with him years later and he had to sell his flat to avoid going to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, if you email someone directly, the response and service you receive is prompt and excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedp6873 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We moved 6 months ago and our lawyer done everything that had to be done re council tax so they should do it all ( that is if you are buying another house) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
