*Re-published: call-in no longer applies* Request for Write Off of Debtor Accounts
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Health and Adult Services
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
The two debtors totalling £25,718.59, which are considered
irrevocable to be written off.
Reasons for the decision:
*PLEASE NOTE This decision was originally
published on or near the date of the decision and so call in no
longer applies. It has been re-published as part of the change in
committee management system that we use.*
In both cases robust attempts have been made by Credit Control,
Legal Services and Health and Adult Services to recover these
amounts.
In one case the debtor has passed away, leaving only £1,000
savings which has been used for his funeral.
In the other case, the client has no savings to pursue this debt,
and no monies have been obtained. Further costs in terms of
workload and time involved is no longer thought to be cost
effective. This client’s finances are now being managed by
the Court of Protection and subsequent bills will now be
settled.
Alternative options considered:
Further time to pursue the outstanding debts, however it is felt
that we have currently explored all possible avenues.
