What happens if you don't pay?
A reminder notice may be issued if your instalment falls into arrears.
You now have 7 days to pay the amount shown on your reminder notice.
If you do not pay the amount shown on your notice, within 7 days, your right to pay by instalments is lost and the full balance for the year becomes due and must be paid within 7 days.
If you do not pay the full years balance a summons for non-payment can be served, incurring costs payable by you.
If you do not pay the total amount due on your summons the Council will request a liability order, incurring further court costs. Action can then be taken to recover the amount due which can include:
- Attachment of Earnings Order
- Attachment of Benefit
- The use of an Enforcement Agent
- Bankruptcy proceedings
- Placing a charging order on your property
Future late instalments
A second reminder notice may be issued if your account is brought up to date, but a future instalment is then late or missed.
A final notice may be issued if your account is brought up to date following a second reminder notice, but a future instalment is then late or missed. This notice requires payment in full.
