If you, or your company, owe a certain amount of Council Tax or business rates, and you have been summonsed, we may start bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings against you.
First, we will send you a statutory demand which will give you 21 days to pay us the full amount.
If you, or your company, receive a statutory demand, you should contact us immediately.
If you do not settle the statutory demand, we will present a petition for bankruptcy or liquidation in the high court.
If we issue a bankruptcy order against you, this will mean:
If you are made bankrupt, the official receiver will control your spending.
If a liquidation order is granted against your company, this will mean:
Do not ignore the statutory demand.
