The person named joined REPS 3 for a period of 3 years. Following a farm inspection and two audit inspections by Department Inspectors in March and April, 2008, a letter issued to the person itemizing a number of documents that were required and a number of issues that needed clarification. As none of the requested documentation or clarification was received, a letter terminating the contract and seeking full recoupment of all REPS monies paid issued on 9th July, 2008.

Payments in respect of an application under the 2008 Single Payment Scheme have been offset against the REPS debt, and arrangements are in place to continue offsetting against Scheme payments until the amount is recovered in full.
