<prompt> Human: Hey rPersonalFinance, my names Dan and Im not sure if Im posting correctly so hopefully someone can help me out financially and how Im supposed to be posting this haha.So, I guess a bit of back story might help:-Im 19 and I finished college earlier this year-I live with my mum in the UK and dont pay any rent for this house that were in -I have absolutely no knowledge surrounding council tax or any other tax for that matter-Im self employed and pay tax out of my wages but I dont earn enough per year and am able to claim for a tax rebate-Ive never owned or rented beforeSo here is my concern, this morning before I went to work I saw a letter addressed to me and it stated I owe over 1,500 in overdue council tax. Theyve never contacted me before saying that I had to even pay any council tax. While I was on my way to work I wondered if my mum had put my name under as the person renting the house and hadnt been able to pay the tax surrounding it, therefore putting me in debt.As Ive said before, I have 0 experience in dealing with tax as Ive never owned or rented a house before and I just agree to whatever Im being taxed when I get paid.Is there anyway to see whats going on with this situation before I talk to my mother about it? I dont want to blame her for something that isnt her doing. Any help would be appreciated and I hope you understand what Im trying to get across. Im at work and a little worried so Im thinking at a million miles an hour.I wont be able to get on until after work at about 5 as I dont have stable internet connection there. Thanks again  <response>: Is there anyway to see whats going on with this situation before I talk to my mother about it? I dont want to blame her for something that isnt her doing.Why would asking her about it automatically turn into accusations? Youre an adult, act like one. Tell her you received this letter, youre not sure why you received it, and wondered if she knew anything about it.
