“The award of this contract is yet further evidence that we are best qualified to recover all types of debt”

Rundles has recently been confirmed as a debt recovery service provider to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The contract covers debts due to the Council arising from council tax, non-domestic rates, former tenant arrears, sundry debt, housing and road traffic debt.

The Council’s Cabinet agreed to adopt the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Contract for Bailiff Services, and also accepted Rundles application to be the providers of that service for three years, starting 19 September 2011. The recovery of road traffic debt is not due to commence until spring 2012.

The Borough of East Riding of Yorkshire is simply known as East Yorkshire. The city of Kingston upon Hull is part of the Borough, along with a number of smaller towns and villages, such as Beverley and the coastal settlements of Bridlington and Hornsea.

The area also enjoys welcoming a vast number of visitors from around the country for major sporting events. Hull City FC are currently playing Championship football at the magnificent KC Stadium situated in East Riding, having enjoyed Premier League status in recent years.  Hull also boasts two rugby league teams playing in the Super League – the only city to have two clubs competing at the highest level of the game. A number of visitors also enjoy attending horse racing at Beverley.

“It is wonderful news,” said Rundles Finance Director Hilary Butler. “Having our expertise and services recognised for all encompassing contracts such as this is a major part of Rundles growth strategy. The award of this contract is yet further evidence that we are best qualified to recover all types of debt, whether it be council tax, NDR or road traffic debt, which is an area we have strengthened greatly in 2011. I would like to thank everyone at East Riding of Yorkshire Council for giving us this opportunity and we look forward to developing a successful relationship with them over the next three years.”
