Hey @carl22, I hope you're doing okay. I've actually been through council tax debt a long while ago. I managed to set up a payment plan back then, they should be giving you a reason for refusing a payment plan? Have you questioned their reason behind refusing a payment plan?

They have said we need to pay one bill in full before the would even consider a payment plan... we have called and called the CBA for advice but never get a answer also when we spoke to Sefton Council about the debt we where paying £100pm to clear debt and the informed us the they where only receiving £30pm because we where paying though a debt company and they where taken £70 as there fee's
