If you ignore your arrears, and fail to respond to our arrears reminder letters, your debt will be passed to our Sheriff Officers for recovery. The Council may also take legal action against you to recover the debt, which will lead to additional legal costs. If the Council takes legal action against you, your wages or bank account could be arrested. This will also be disclosed in any reference the Council provides in respect of your tenancy, and could have an adverse effect on your credit rating.
