DMBM215210 - Payment Allocation, Overpayments and Repayments: Duty Repaid In Error Refunded (DRIER): Action by the SAFE unit

As soon as the charge is created, SAFE will generate an entry on your Clerical Action Worklist. You should then

• review the list to ensure that the relevant papers have been/are received from the charge raiser
• make an application for payment, using R97 Templates: letter 12.

Note that you will need to modify these if the charge is on agent/third party

• B/F for 14 days.

When payment is received follow the action detailed in DMBM215160.

Follow up action

First B/F date

If after the B/F date the charge is not paid make a further application for payment using R97 Templates: letter 13 modified as required. B/F the case for a further 10 days.

Second B/F date

If after the second B/F date the charge has still not been paid if possible telephone the payee to find out why this has not been paid.
