Special Arrangements
Once a summons has been issued, the Recovery Section will be happy to discuss making an arrangement for you to pay off your outstanding balance.
There are three ways in which an arrangement can be made:
- Direct debit – we will consider putting your account onto a monthly direct debit arrangement once it has been brought up to date; the direct debit will continue on your account for future years so you will avoid you falling into arrears again.
- 3 monthly payments – if you do not wish to pay by direct debit, we will discuss making payments over the next three months to clear off the outstanding debt.
- arrangement based on income & expenditure – if you are unable to pay by either of the above methods, we may consider an extended arrangement based on details of your income & expenditure; this way we can see how much you can reasonably be expected to afford per month to clear your account.
We will still apply for a Liability Order with costs at the court hearing, but we will not take any further recovery action, as long as you keep to your arrangement.
Please note: even if you have made a special arrangement, you will still receive a copy of the Liability Order after the hearing, and should complete and return the income and expenditure information as usual.
