When a sundry debt is raised

Sundry debt invoices are raised if: 

• we have provided you with a service for which there is a fee 
• you have received an overpayment of benefit such as adult social care or foster parent allowance

You may receive an invoice in respect of a service you have asked for. Examples of such invoices include: 

• leases and ground rents – property services 
• licenses
• building control 
• trade waste collection
• land searches 
• permits 
• water sampling 
• music service 
• room hire

We are required to make a charge for these services and this is done by issuing a sundry debtor invoice. 

Your invoice will state the service you are being charged for. If however, you are unclear about the service please feel free to contact the originator detailed on your sundry debt invoice.

Your invoice will state the amounts payable for each service and will show the total amount payable. Invoices are payable in full in line with the Councils Sundry debt Invoice Terms and Conditions.

For details on how to make payment please refer to the bottom left of the sundry debt invoice.

If your invoice has a reference beginning 03 or 04 and seven numerical digits, you can pay online.
