Liverpool Council debt collectors are to be in post for at least another two years after contracts were renewed in the nick of time.
A two-year extension has been agreed to the contract for enforcement agent services for the collection of debts owed to the council on the very same day the existing terms were due to run out. In January 2019, the authority agreed to enlist the services of debt collectors to round up funds owed around council tax, business rates and parking.
Contracts with four enforcement agents began on June 21, 2019, for three years, with the option to extend for a further two. That agreement was scheduled to run out on Tuesday, the same day new terms were arranged.
