Actions in DPOs/DMUs

Where you have decided that the debt is suitable for either enforcement or insolvency action and:

• DPOs have completed the QG checks
• DMUs have completed their current, relevant checklists/aide-memoires

you should apply the revised selection criteria to determine the correct next action. These can be found at:

• DMBM605440 for distraint criteria
• DMBM605450 for CCP criteria
• DMBM685210 for insolvency proceedings criteria.

Where the selection criteria cannot be applied for any reason you should follow the guidance in DMPM4320 and return the case to the stage at which the shortcomings can be resolved. It may then flow through the Gateway later when you can then make an informed decision on the way forward.
