I saw on the forum somewhere, about a summons for non payment of Council tax is not a problem for an ILR application until one gets a liability order...
I just wondered if anyone can offer me some advice;
I am currently on a spouse visa. I have recently been passed on some old letters from my old address (where I left in Jan 2012) and found reminders of council tax bills as well as a summons!!
I wasnt aware of any council tax liability as I was on a full time student when I was living there. I rang the council today and was told my account wasnt closed until Sep 2012 and my student exemption only last until Nov 2011, so it shows on their system that I owe them over a thousand pounds. The lady told me to update my record using the online system and submit prove of my tendency agreement etc and I will then get an update of the balance. I asked if the council has taken any legal action against me, she answered no. Despite the fact that her answer was no, I found a summons.. which I believe is one kind of legal actions?
I have no intention to ignore any tax if I was liable and I will make sure I pay whatever is outstanding, once they have correct my details on their system with the correct amount. I just wanted to know if there was any liability order granted against me, is it likely to ruin my application for ILR?
I have read on so many websites that once you have got a summons, the next you would get is the LO... And how would I find out if there was any LO issued to me? I moved out so long ago and I havent received any letters after I have moved...
I hope someone can kindly advise on this and it will be much appreciated ! I am so stressed out .... THANKSSSS
