Locta
LoCTA Limited deliver the services that provide Local Authorities with a secure and efficient means of tracing debtors and tackling fraud with the aim of increasing revenue.
LoCTA Hub is THE Debt Recovery and Fraud Identification solution for Local Authorities, designed exclusively for their use, to increase revenue by tracing debtors and identifying and preventing fraud and crime. Established in 2006, LoCTA Hub has become the tried, tested and trusted industry tool maintaining a 98% customer retention rate over that time.
The Hub houses Council Tax and NDR data from Authorities, which is refreshed weekly, alongside third-party data sets such as the Voters Roll, Deceased Data and Companies House records; providing everything Authorities need in one place to trace the people they need to find, easily and instantly, even from a single phone number or email address.
Traditionally used by Revenues and Benefits teams, the Hub is now used more widely and enabled teams such as Neighbourhoods, Trading Standards and Empty Homes to have instant access to data sets that they’d previously not had access to. We’ve recently heard from one Authority who were able to search the Hub with a single email address and evidence a missing home owner who had been registered for Council Tax in another Authority since 2009.
Now LoCTA Limited is launching their new mobile app, LoCTA GO, to provide Authorities with instant verification of names and addresses for enforcement team members who work outside of the office.
LoCTA Hub and LoCTA GO – giving Authorities the power to protect the public purse.
