Decision details

*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.
