Change in circumstances

If you still live in the property alone, the following will not affect your single-person discount:

  • a friend or relative stays with you for a few nights a week, and they do not keep belongs with you
  • you receive post for the previous resident, or someone uses your address for correspondence only 

We do not hold any credit information on our Council Tax customers.
