“We have many residents that move to neighbouring Local Authorities. Historically it has been difficult to trace these residents. However, LoCTA enables us to locate these people so we can collect council tax quickly. The product is good value for money and proves critical in allowing us to trace and collect outstanding money in a timely manner.”
Robbie Parker, Council Tax Manager, Bradford.
