BFG (Bad) DEBT<br />
Both GOC 1 (UK) Armd Div <strong>and</strong> GOC UKSC(G) agree that the level<br />
of unpaid (bad) debt across BFG is high (over €5 million as at August<br />
2009) <strong>and</strong> there is a corporate responsibility to address the issue.<br />
Where debt exists as a result of court orders, that responsibility is<br />
absolutely clear cut <strong>and</strong> Comm<strong>and</strong>ers are required to take action in an<br />
appropriate <strong>and</strong> timely manner.<br />
Fair assistance to firms who are owed money by soldiers is also<br />
necessary. It should not be regarded as debt collection by proxy but<br />
rather assistance to our soldiers, who will otherwise face court action<br />
<strong>and</strong> considerable extra costs.<br />
The GOCs require prompt <strong>and</strong> thorough action within units.<br />
Respective SLOs should be kept informed of the results so debts may<br />
be deleted from their records. Those statistics on bad debt are<br />
regularly reviewed.
