Council use of enforcement agencies for debt-collecting
To whom it may concern,
I would please like to request the following information:
1) In the financial years 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24 (Up to 07.02.24), could you please provide me with the total monetary value of council-related debts (such as council tax, parking fines, failures to pay business rates and housing arrears) which were referred to external enforcement agencies?
2) Of this figure, please could you provide the amount that was recovered by external debt agencies broken down for each of the financial years referenced?
3) For each of those financial years, please provide the number of complaints the council has received about the conduct of external bailiffs and debt collectors.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email address] should any aspect of my request require clarification.
Yours faithfully, and many thanks,
Helen Hoddinott
