Details

This agreement is published as part of the Code of Practice for public authorities disclosing information under Chapters 1, 3 and 4 (Public Service Delivery, Debt and Fraud) of Part 5 of the Digital Economy Act 2017.

The purpose of this pilot is to analyse vulnerable and overlapping debtors across a range of government departments and local authorities.

The aims of the pilot are to:

  • achieve a better understanding of the debt owed to government from debtors and in particular vulnerable individuals

  • gain an understanding of areas of overlap where individuals owe debt to more than one government organisation

  • assess the feasibility of debt collection functions in government having a common list of vulnerable customers

  • inform a recommendation for additional pilots and next steps
