It is the first tranche of MIQ bills being referred for debt collection. Debt recovery action isn't considered until invoices are 90 days overdue, or 180 days from when the invoice was issued. As at April 30, 291 invoices were overdue by more than 180 days with a combined value of $909,535. Some people who haven't paid their bills for managed isolation will be referred to a debt collection agency by the end of the week.
