Six
hundred
and
twenty
pounds
and
sixty
three
pence,
which
are
detailed,
Indiana's
and
the
the
background
to
this,
is
that
it's
considered
who's
practiced
right
off
former
tenants
areas
which
are
not
considered
to
be
currently
recoverable
in
order
to
declare
accounting
and
to
make
sure
provision
Burdett.
Is
that
an
appropriate
level?
B
We
we
undertake
several
methods
of
recovery
before
we
get
to
this
point.
So
with
all
that's
when
all
former
Tennessee
debts,
we
use
a
couple
of
different
IT
databases.
We
use
data
debt
collection
agencies,
excuse
me,
and
we
use
our
food
team
to
help
track
down
where,
where
people
have
gone
to
to
recover
the
former
debt-
and
we
also
keep
them
on
the
system.
B
So
if
a
tenant
should
reapply
to
housing
or
come
back
through
the
homeless
route
in
future,
the
debt
will
be
written
back
onto
the
account
and
we
weren't
around
recovery
of
the
debt
as
part
of
any
future
housing
application.
So
it
wouldn't,
it
would
be
recovered
in
in
that
case,
however,
in
some
cases
people
have
moved
far
enough
away
or
have
passed
away,
and
it
is
impossible
or
extremely
unlikely
that
will
ever
recover
the
debt
where
the
debts
are
over
five
thousand
pounds.
B
A
C
B
In
general,
we
would
always
endeavor
to
have
undertaken
tenancy
action
before
the
debts
reach
this
level.
It
tends
to
be
fairly
exceptional
cases
where
the
debt
gets
to
over
five
thousand
pounds
and
we're
not
in
a
position
to
recover
it,
and
obviously
I
can't
return
to
individual
cases,
but
there's
there's
a
range
of
circumstances,
so
issues
such
as
mental
capacity,
criminal
cases,
things
like
that,
which
can
kind,
of
course,
proceedings
to
take
a
lot
longer
and
mean
that
we're
unlikely
to
be
able
to
recover
the
debt
I
can.
A
Appreciate
that,
though,
sometimes
you
can
just
keep
going
or
something,
and
it's
not
gonna,
it's
not
going
to
happen
in
its
wasting
your
time.
It's
you
know
it's
tying
your
time
up
when
you
could
be
doing
other
things
with
anything.
That's
really!
You
know
it's
really
not
going
to
happen
and
I
can
I
would
imagine
that
from
the
dates
of
these
that
that
you've
been
going
a
little
while
it's
as
if
it's
some
sort
of
decision,
OH
right
that
you
know
it's.
