The Cabinet Member for
Finance & Resources has given approval to the write
off of 6 outstanding debts covering
Business Rates, Council Tax & a Housing Benefit overpayment
with a total value of £96,894.80, which are considered to be
irrecoverable.
 
Every possible method of recovery has been attempted to recover
these debts. However, for the reasons stated in the report, there
is no further recovery action that can be taken to recover the
money owed.

If circumstances change and it becomes possible to recover the
debt, recovery can be reinstated even if the debt has been written
off.

It is recommended that these debts are now written off as all
attempts to recover the monies owed have been exhausted.

(NOTE: The report contains a confidential appendix that has been
circulated to the decision maker only).
