In respect of the above information, please note the following:

  • We can only report on "arrears" for accounts where a Final notice onwards has been issued. 
  • The issue of reminders has been removed from the data.     
  • All figures refer to the number of accounts, not people.     
  • The 'current' arrears figures are from a report run as at 30.05.2024 for all financial years.  
  • The previous years arrears figures for 2018/2019 & 2022/2023 are taken from the reports run at year end for each financial year for all financial years.
  • Liability order information is on the number of liability orders granted within the financial year for all years.
