Rechargeable Repairs Policy - Section 9

9.    Recharge Payments

9.1  The Council's Housing Service will raise an invoice for payment a soon as possible after the repair is completed. The Housing Service recognises that in some circumstances, repayment of charges in full would cause excessive financial problems for the tenant. With this in mind, the Housing Service will recommend to the Finance Section a reasonable and affordable payment of the debt, by instalment, based on their knowledge of the individual tenant's financial circumstances. The Finance Section will, after consideration of the Housing Service's recommendations, advise the tenant of the repayments to be made.

9.2   In the event that a tenant fails to settle an invoice or defaults on any agreed instalment arrangement, recovery will be sought in accordance with the Moray Council's Debt Management Policy.
