“We are delighted to have been chosen by Portsmouth City Council for support with their road traffic debt enforcement. The reality of government suspending enforcement action during the coronavirus lockdown has left local authorities requiring fast, efficient and accountable recovery action as soon as possible. “Through ongoing training, a pragmatic
approach and continuous technological investment, we have ensured we are ready to help immediately and we look forward to doing so.”

Following the signing of a five-year contract, Equifinance has successfully migrated its existing secured loan portfolio onto the Phoebus account servicing product. Migration took place over the weekend of 8 August and the implementation project was delivered on time and on budget. The loans were migrated utilising Phoebus Software
Limited’s (PSL) award winning, dedicated migrations and originations application programming interface (API). This API allows every transaction, record and image from inception held within the host servicing system, or originations platform, to be seamlessly transferred onto Phoebus Servicing for automated primary servicing and arrears management to be undertaken. Alongside the migration activities, PSL’s originations API has been

successfully implemented, which provides the ability to onboard new loans directly from Equifinance’s origination platform on to Phoebus Servicing. This in turn speeds up the end to end process, reduces manual intervention and ensures data integrity. Phoebus Software sales and marketing director, Richard Pike, says, “Since
day one there has been a great synergy between our businesses at all levels and a really smooth implementation has been achieved by way of a true partnership approach. Equifinance has exciting plans for the future and we look forward to continued success for both parties through the relationship over the coming years.”
Two-thirds of the public think that vital public services, such as social care, are put at risk when people who can pay their council tax do not, according to a new YouGov survey. Already hundreds of millions go unpaid
every year and over 80% of the public think that this would continue or get worse if local councils did not use bailiffs to recover unpaid debts.

non-payment puts services, like social care, at risk. Fears are particularly acute among over

65s, 75% of whom thought non-payment puts services at risk, and among Labour voters (69%). More than half of those polled, 56%, said councils should use bailiffs to collect money from people who can pay but will nott. This was more than twice the numbers
who said councils should not use bailiffs, at 28%. Russell Hamblin-Boone, CIVEA chief
executive, said: “The overwhelming majority of people pay their council tax on time because they recognise non-payment is unfair and puts vital public services at risk. Councils face a deepening financial crisis because of increased costs and lost revenue during lockdown so it is important that civil enforcement work can resume to recover much needed funding for front-line services. “Enforcement action is always a last

resort by councils when other collection measures have failed and, even then, in half of all cases, an affordable payment plan is set up through e-mails or phone calls. CIVEA’s post-lock down support plan will enable civil enforcement to resume safely, ensuring that public health advice is adhered to and the most vulnerable are protected.”
