I have been sent a prison commital threat so i used the CT ai and it recommends starting some sort of payment so i cant be seen as willful refusal by a court. It advised calming fown this situation prior to continuing my case against them.
I paid a £40 payment which i'll continue to monthly and sent the below:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I acknowledge receipt of correspondence dated 26 January 2026 indicating an intention to apply for committal proceedings in respect of council tax liability.
I am actively engaging with the Council in writing, have raised formal procedural and data protection complaints (including with the Information Commissioner’s Office), and I confirm that I have now commenced payments directly to Trafford Council. A payment of £40 has been made, and further payments will continue. All payments are made strictly without prejudice and without admission of liability.
For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no wilful refusal or culpable neglect. There has been ongoing engagement, dispute as to procedure and enforcement lawfulness, and payment has now resumed. In those circumstances, the statutory threshold for committal is not met.
I am the sole point of contact dealing with this matter. I am taking responsibility for engagement and payment, and I request confirmation that no separate committal application or enforcement action will be pursued against Jessica £%*[# while this matter is being actively addressed by me.
Please confirm that committal action is paused while payments continue and the outstanding procedural and data protection issues remain under consideration.
Yours faithfully,
...
However i have now been copied into the screenshot email and sent the other email. Has anybody else been at this staga and what do you recommend? Ive built a really good case of evidence against them for data protection breaches, unlawful enforcement, lack of sar responses etc but feel like im back on the back foot a bit now.
