Hello All,
As NSC is the font of all knowlege, looking for some help.
Myself and 2 mates rent a property through a letting agents and have done for 6 years. The council tax has alaways been paid by the landlord, no idea why but always been the case. About a year ago the landlord lost the house to her husband in the custody battle and he took over. He said it would all continue as it is.This has been fine for almost a year. Now this morning a bailiff has come round saying we have till 1pm to pay 1k in Outstanding council tax bills or he will take our property. The letting agent says it is now our responsibility. We have had no letters chasing the money or letters from owner to say we are now responsible.
Is there any way that we can delay the bailiffs- bar paying the money? are they LEGALLY allowed just to come in?
Any help much appreciated.
