Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has been in the same situation I am in?
I've recently discovered that the 25% single occupancy discount I was entitled too was not subtracted from my council tax bill despite me filling in and sending back a form to the council notifying them that I lived alone. This was three years ago. I can't prove I sent them a form as they have no record of it.
Basically I have been paying more than I should have done for this three-year period, but can prove if asked that I was living alone for the whole time (through tenancy agreement, census, electoral role, rent, utilities etc.)
I am going to ask the council to issue me a rebate for the full amount for this three-year period. Legally, are they obliged to do this? I have contacted a couple of solicitors online and they seem to think that they will have to.
Thanks in advance!
