Approval to write-off individual debts greater than £15,000

Decision:

That the write-off of those debts identified in the report be authorised.

Minutes:

The Lead Member for Customer Services, Procurement & Performance introduced a report that sought approval to write-off uncollectable debts that exceeded £15,000 in relation to adult social care, council tax and business rates.

 

The total sum of the debts proposed to be written-off was £1.186m, although it was noted that much of this debt was very old and some of it dated back to 1997.  In all cases requests for write-offs were only recommended after all avenues to collect the debt had been exhausted.  The Cabinet approved the write-off requests as set out in the appendices to the report.

 

Resolved –  That the write-off of those debts identified in the report be authorised.
