The Request for Information Form (PDF: 20Kb)which is sent out following the Liability Order hearing requires that certain information is supplied to the Council within 14 days. Failure to supply the information or to supply false information is a criminal offence and if found guilty carries a substantial fine.
On the form we have included a section which allows the customer to enter into an arrangement to clear the outstanding balance by the end of the financial year. If this arrangement is acceptable to the Council and is maintained by the customer no further action is required.
If the form is not returned, a reminder will be sent which may be followed by a summons to appear at court. The summons is hand delivered by a Recovery Officer or posted by recorded delivery. A further request for information form is enclosed, giving the customer another chance to supply the information. If the form is returned before the court date the case will be withdrawn. If the information is not supplied, the magistrates will hear the evidence and may impose a fine and award costs on behalf of the Council.
