Help with Council Tax Debt in the UK

Council tax arrears can escalate quickly if not dealt with. Many councils take fast enforcement action when payments are missed, including court summonses and bailiff involvement. But you do have options — and we can help.

What Happens If You Miss Council Tax Payments?

• Legal demand for the full yearly amount
• Magistrates court summons and liability orders
• Wage deductions or bailiff (enforcement agent) action
• Extra court costs added to your balance

How We Can Help

Fresh Start Debt Support helps people set up affordable repayment plans and stop enforcement action. You may qualify for:

• Debt Management Plan (DMP) to reduce monthly council tax arrears payments
• IVA to include council tax debt and write off a portion
• Emergency creditor contact to pause enforcement

Stop Enforcement Now

Can Bailiffs Be Stopped?

Yes — once you begin a formal plan like a DMP or IVA, bailiff visits can be suspended. If you're facing enforcement, get advice urgently to avoid goods being seized.

Can I Include Other Debts?

Absolutely. We can help combine other priority or unsecured debts with your council tax arrears — including rent, loans, credit cards, and more.

Don't Wait for Court Action

If you’ve received a letter or court summons, time is critical. We can act fast to negotiate with your local authority and stop things getting worse.
