Dumfries and Galloway Council writes off more than £200,000 of debt
16.06.2023 - 06:20 / dailyrecord.co.uk
More than £200,000 worth of debt has been written-off by the council in the past six months.
Over the same period, more than £40,000 has been reclaimed from debts that the local authority had previously given up hope of getting back.
The figures are revealed in a report for this month’s meeting of the council’s finance, procurement and transformation committee.
The report reveals the council has a strategy for chasing debts which has “led to high collection levels for all area of income”.
But some amounts are deemed “uncollectable” and require to be written off.
Between October 2022 and March this year, £191,441 of unpaid bills under £10,000 were written off, covering council tax, non-domestic rates, overpaid benefits and other sundry debts.
A further £26,810 was written off related to two debts worth more than £10,000.
One debt – worth £13,196 – was for non-domestic rates from Southside Retail Limited, which has been dissolved.
Another debt for £13,614 was written off because there were no funds in the person’s estate.
Committee members will also be told on June 20 that during the six month period, £43,584 worth of debts previously written off had since been reclaimed.
The report states: “This shows that the council still actively pursues debt if circumstances change in order to maximise receipts.”
The report also reveals a slight increase in the amount of council tax and non-domestic rates collected in 2022/23.
