If you miss a council tax payment, you may face several consequences based on the North Warwickshire council's procedures. Initially, a reminder notice will be issued. If you miss payments again, further reminders will be sent, and eventually, a Final notice, requiring immediate payment of the full balance, will be issued.
Here’s a summary of the key steps that follow missed payments:
| Step | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| First Missed Payment | Reminder notice issued. |
| Subsequent Missed Payments | Further reminder notice issued if unpaid. |
| Third Missed Payment | Final notice issued; full balance due. |
| If Payment Not Made | Summons issued and a minimum cost of £100 incurred. |
| Court Hearing | Liability Order sought if unpaid before the hearing. |
To avoid serious repercussions like court proceedings, it's essential to bring your instalments up to date as soon as possible. If you're struggling, reach out to the council to discuss your options. You can also apply online for support if you need financial assistance.
