Debtor's rights.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 12

(a) (1) A Notice of Intent to Offset, which shall include written notice of the type and amount of the debt, the intention of the Director to use administrative offset to collect the debt, and an explanation of the debtor's rights under 31 U.S.C. 3716; (2) An opportunity to inspect and copy Bureau records related to the debt, unless such records are exempt from disclosure; (3) An opportunity for review within the Bureau of the determination of indebtedness; and (4) An opportunity to enter into a written agreement to repay the debt. (b) (2) Upon receipt of a request for review by the debtor, the Director shall provide the debtor with a reasonable opportunity for an oral hearing when the Director determines that the question of the indebtedness cannot be resolved by review of the documentary evidence alone (e.g., when the determination turns on an issue of credibility or veracity). Unless otherwise required by law, an oral hearing under this section is not required to be a formal evidentiary hearing, although all significant matters discussed at the hearing shall be documented. (3) In cases where an oral hearing is not required by this section, the Bureau shall make its determination based on a documentary hearing consisting of a review of the written record.
