Liability order and recovery action
If payment of the full amount is not made by the court date, then we will apply to the court for a liability order. If the court agrees the charge is due and unpaid, the liability order will be granted.
A liability order is a document that gives the council powers to collect the debt. These include instructing enforcement agents.
Further costs of £8.98, payable by the rate payer, are charged.
If an enforcement agent handles the case, you will get further charges. If an enforcement agent contacts you, do not ignore it.
