What happens if I don't pay my Council tax?

If he is paying single occupancy he is only getting a 25% discount ( i think) so you wouldnt have too much to pay back if they back dated it but what i'd do is contact them now and tell them that you've just moved in and start paying it from now, they'll never know!

They will find you, fine you and send you to court, possibly even prison

You will be asked to pay. If you can't, you'll be taken to court, and most likely take money direct from your wages/income or have possessions removed to cover costs. If I were you I'd register that you've just moved in, and hope they don't find out!! Good luck!!

go to jail.... do not pass go... do not collect £200.... Fess up now before you're reported or found out..... Or just tell them you moved in last week.......

Theyll probably call you a terrorist, throw you in Belmarsh, deport you to the US or Uzbekistan for 'Interrogation'..or put you in a cell with a paedophile

If you're that worried, just tell the council that you just moved in and want to start paying from this month onwards. They shouldn't find out, but to be honest, you should pay it. I know it's expensive and most of the time we don't see any benefits from it, but everyone else has to pay it, so it's only fair. If they did find out, you'd probably just get a massive bill, but worse case scenario would be a fine and prison. Would think they could only find out if someone else told them about it though.

U should really inform them, just tell them u moved in at the beginning of the month so u won't owe too much back pay. I think they can find out if they check up on your boyf single occupancy claim or if someone grasses u in. i think even if you only stay for 3 nights or more u are classed as living there, if they find you out they will probably fine u and then start charging you full council tax.

dont panic just tell them you have only just moved in , buy a new tv witch you have to give an address for. bingo a record of you just setting up home with your man. Or dont pay girl get loads of others to join you and wehey we have a revolution, we dont get much for all the bloody money we pay them......grrrrrrrr

Ring them up and say you've just moved in with him. They will send you a form to add your name as an occupant. Or else ring them up and say you didn't even think to change it - it never occurred to you til now. Say you are really worried about it as you thought of it suddenly at 3am this morning and are worried you owe them loads and you'll never be able to afford it etc. They will probably say you can pay the back tax in installments. Actually - go to your local citizen's advice bureau and say all that and they should be able to sort it out for you.
