Cancellation of suspension

A suspension is cancelled automatically when

• The suspension period expires

Or

• The AP clears before the suspension period expires

Or, for automatic suspension types 51 and 53

• There is an event on the AP which changes the circumstances that originally created the suspension, for example an assessment (Word 29KB) is made or revised

Debt Management offices and Banking Operations can use Function RSUS (Record / Amend Suspension) to cancel a suspension any time whilst it is in force.

Note: Only cancel a suspension type 11 where it is recorded on the wrong AP. 

The owning office can only cancel a type 11 suspension by using Function RSUD (Cancel Suspension).
