England and Wales
The housing administrator may treat a debt, which is a small debt according to the accounting records or the statement of affairs of the registered provider, as if it were proved for the purposes of paying a dividend.
Where the housing administrator intends to treat such a debt as if it were proved, the notice delivered under rule 5.26 must—
state the amount of the debt which the housing administrator believes to be owed to the creditor according to the accounting records or statement of affairs of the registered provider;
state that the housing administrator will treat the debt which is stated in the notice, being for £1,000 or less, as proved for the purposes of paying a dividend unless the creditor advises the housing administrator that the amount of the debt is incorrect or that no debt is owed;
require the creditor to notify the housing administrator by the last date for proving if the amount of the debt is incorrect or if no debt is owed; and
inform the creditor that where the creditor advises the housing administrator that the amount of the debt is incorrect the creditor must also submit a proof to receive a dividend.
The information required by paragraph (2)(a) may take the form of a list of small debts which the housing administration intends to treat as proved which includes the debt owed to the particular creditor upon whom the notice is being delivered.
