Council Tax Arrears
Dear East Renfrewshire Council,
How many council taxes accounts from March 2020 to January 2021 have you transferred to your local sheriff officer for collection?
How many of those council tax account households were in receipt of housing benefit or council tax benefit, or both?
How many of those accounts transferred to Sheriff Officers in your authority were collected through the arrestment of wages?
Yours faithfully,
Ms Barbara Adams
