Here is my opinion of the reading of that particular rule.  Benjamin will 
decide which is the correct view:

I am the Tax Collector and I perhaps should have entitled it a Motion for 
Repayment instead of a Bank Motion.  The rules confused me in that respect, 
so I decided to call it a
generic bank motion with the understanding that people would know that I 
had the authority to repay all debts and that this authority was what 
mattered as opposed to what the motion was called.

I understood that under the reading of Rule 317/2, that the Motion for 
Payment was a subset of the group of motions that constitute Bank 
Motions.  The definition of Bank Motions simply define how to process this 
said group of motions.

The statement "If a debt owed the bank is overdue the Tax Collector shall, 
within a reasonable length of time, submit a Motion for Payment of that 
debt on behalf of the bank" states that this is a motion on behalf of the 
bank to force the *bank* to reclaim the unpaid debts.  This does not 
involve the Player at all and will simply take the money away from the 
Player and give it to the bank.
