I voluntarily handed in the keys to my house last year, vacating the property without leaving a forwarding address for my building society.(posted 8739 days ago)I have this month received a council tax bill for #1000 for this property (the council have both my old and my new address) and was told by the council that I must provide written proof from the building society that it has BEEN repossessed or I must pay the bill.
The house has this week been boarded up and the locks have been changed by the building society, but I do not know whether this consitutes repossession. And I have no way of getting written proof of this, because as far as the building society know, I have disappeared. I am actually living in my husband's house and do not want this address tainted by my bad credit.
I wonder if anyone knows whether there is any way of getting out of paying this council tax bill as I cannot afford it. Any advice would be gratefully received.
