How long had you been evading it?
Our council are so lackadaisical we managed to live in a gaff for 3 years as students and not pay a penny (assuming the landlord had sorted out the informing the council we weren't eligible bit) and didn't hear a thing until after we'd graduated and got a letter from a debt collector for the previous tenants.

Pretty much that
it was about 2 and a half years, during which time I had documented evidence that I had contacted them and asked them to sort it and letters back saying they had received my letter and would be in touch soon then nothing. So when they did the court order for unpaid I happily went along and Perry Masoned them
