C146 RENT ARREARS FOR FORMER TENANTS – TRANSFER OF UNCOLLECTABLE AMOUNTS Consideration has been given to the recommendation of The Gateshead Housing Company to transfer individual debt amounts from former tenants’ accounts to debtors’ accounts where all possible recovery action has been taken. RESOLVED - That the transfer of £ £83,398 former tenants’ arrears into debtors’ accounts as recommended by The Gateshead Housing Company be approved. The above decision has been made to ensure effective management of the Council’s resources, as any further pursuit of these arrears is unlikely to result in significant sums being recovered.
