Council tax in Feb and March - please help with boring housemate problem

27 replies

Hi! So I live with a good friend and from the start she has insisted on dealing with all bills. In Feb and March I transferred her the money for the council tax as normal. I was then told that people generally don't pay council tax in these months. I raised his with my housemate and she said she would check if it had left her bank or not. She never got back to me. Asked again, no response. Today I asked again and she replied to say that she had paid it in Feb but has transferred me the money for March.

Can anyone help? I've checked the council tax website and we pay 'x' amount for the year. If 'x' is divided by 10, this is the amount we pay each month. I also checked with the old tenant who confirmed that it was paid over 10 months not 12.

So why has it been taken from her account for Feb?

Please help. I don't want to seem like I'm accusing my friend of lying but I have no way of checking her account so just want to make sense of this. Many thanks in advance!

March and April are the 'free' months here

February & march are the months here that people normally get off.
But like PPs I pay mine over 12 months to make it easier on myself! You can normally email the council with any queries though and they get back to you
