I had not paid the outstanding amount of £27.78 for my council tax, I was set a bill and a reminder but forgot about it and was meanIng to pay it!
I have now been summons to court and now have to pay £27.78 and summons costs of £65 so total of £92.78.
So I called them to ask that if I pay the outstanding amount before it gets to court will I still have to pay summons fee of £65 an they said yes.
I think it's crazy, I know I was in the wrong for not paying it, but I had intended to. I just can't understand why I have to pay the summons fee if it doesn't even make it to court??
