Corporate Debt Write Off Policy

The Corporate Debt Write Off Policy sets out the council’s framework for writing off irrecoverable debts. While the Council aims to recover all monies lawfully due, there are circumstances where debts cannot reasonably be collected, and writing them off is the most appropriate course of action. This policy provides a consistent, transparent, and accountable approach to debt write offs, ensuring that decisions are made in line with legislation, financial regulations, and the Council’s duty to protect public funds while also taking into account the circumstances of individual debtors.
