Innovations in approach to council tax recovery

Central to successful recovery of council tax arrears is quality of information on the identity of non-payers. BCW Group has an industry-leading trace team and access to nationwide databases to ensure fast and accurate targeting, and stringent systems in place to identify the financial status of non-payers and profile their credit history, thereby aiming to make informed and sustainable repayment arrangements.

Once non-payers are identified, our highly-trained debt recovery agents make personal contact to establish a repayment programme. This can involve assisting the individual to claim additional benefits to which they may be entitled, thus easing the repayment burden and reducing the risk of further default.

In addition, cutting edge telephony technology allows us to make automated calls to specific non-payers encouraging them to call back, increasing our inbound calls at minimum expense. All such campaigns are carried out in full accordance with Ofcom regulations.

As with all of our debt recovery packages, the entire service can be tailored to exacting client requirements.
