Decision details

In line with the Council’s financial rules, the Executive will be presented with a quarterly report on Council debt write-offs

Received and noted a report from the Corporate Director of Customer Services of the value and type of debts written off from the Income, Collection, Rents and Benefits Service areas as uncollectible for the first quarter of the 2009/10 financial year (April to June 2009).

Arising from the discussions, asked that officers consider selling on the outstanding debts to debt recovery organisations to pursue subject to care considerations being taken into account before publicising any debt arising from the provision of social care services.

Further noted that a number of these debts will be publicised in accordance with the policy agreed by Minute 69 2007/08.
