Civil Enforcement

IE works on behalf of a number of local authorities in the arrest and detention of Council Tax Defaulters.

This work has enabled Councils to collect Council Tax Revenues totalling many hundreds of thousands of pounds that had previously been uncollected.

We have also previously worked with Her Majesty’s Court Service in the Arrest and Detention of Fine Defaulters.

The bulk of the work that we carry out in the field of Civil Enforcement is in the collection of fines and penalties for Decriminalised Parking Enforcement. Local Authorities now have the ability to apply to the Secretary of State to grant the Authority powers to carry out its own parking enforcement and penalty collection schemes. We assist in this field by collecting unpaid parking penalties on behalf of the authorities.
