You must have missed two payments then because the first time you get a warning.
I've had one of these, you'd think they would have a better system.
You miss one month then get the warning which says miss another and you have to pay the lot or they will issue a summons, then you go into OCD drive in order to not to forget for the rest of the year.

My letter from them is dated the 5th or March so while the pandemic was on.

If there is any rebate then I expect they will adjust the bill accordingly.
Just keep an eye on it all.

It's alright for those who are still working and can pay but there's a lot of people having to draw on savings at the moment.

The biggest worry really but I am thinking that anyone who does get a big bill can pay it of as and when they can but they won't drop it that's for sure.
