Dear

Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000

Thank you for your email of 24 January in which you requested from the Insolvency Service:

This is an information request relating to losses and special payments

Please include the information for each of the following periods; 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21:

  • The total number of cases of losses in each year.
  • The total cost of losses in each year.
  • An itemisation of each loss including what it was for and how much it cost.
  • The total number of special payments in each year.
  • The total value of special payments in each year.
  • An itemisation of each special payment including what it was for and how much it cost.

Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

I can confirm the agency holds some of the information that you have requested and I have included it in the attached annex.

Information regarding loss and payments is routinely published as part of our annual report which can be found here.

If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), please contact our Information Rights Team at foi@insolvency.gov.uk or by post at:

You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) if you wish for them to investigate any complaint you may have regarding our handling of your request. However, please note that the ICO is likely to expect an IR to have been completed in the first instance.

Kind regards
