- View the background to item 125.
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.
