I have received a summons. What do I need to do?

If you are able to do so, you must pay the amount shown on your summons including the court costs. We must receive your payment before the Hearing Date (see paying your Council Tax).

If we receive your payment after the Hearing, there will be additional court costs that you must pay.

 

If you are unable to pay the amount shown on the summons or you think the summons is wrong, you should contact us at Council Tax immediately to discuss your account.

 

You may find that the Helpline is busy and you can't get through. If you would like us to call you back to discuss your account, let us know your telephone number and the time you would like us to call you back.

 

We will be able to advise you on the best course of action and may be able to make a payment arrangement.

 

 

If you receive any notice from the City Council regarding the non-payment of your Council Tax, do not ignore it! Doing this may mean that further action will be taken with additional court costs being incurred.
