INS10403 - Monitoring VAs

The monitoring teams

VAS monitors:

  • Cases which had been dealt with by the former Enforcement Office Voluntary Arrangements Unit or by local Revenue Network Recovery Offices before 29 January 2001.

These cases have red file covers, and the Monitoring Team dealing with these is known as ‘The Red Monitoring Teams’. ( INS10409).

  • All VAs received from 29 January 2001. These have light blue file covers and so are dealt with in ‘The Blue Monitoring Team’. ( INS10405)
  • From April 2003 the files are coloured pink.

Monitoring teams pursue annual reports, dividends, and press debtors for post-VA returns and liability. Non compliance cases are passed to the Post-Monitoring Support Team (PMST). ( INS10413).

PMST encourages post-VA compliance by

  • negotiation, short term time to pay, variation
  • requiring supervisors to file bankruptcy or winding up petitions or pursuing post arrangement debt by statutory demand.
