Former Leicestershire County Council leader David Parsons has cleared his debts with his old authority.
County Hall has been pursuing the ex-Tory politician for money he owed in relation to trips he made in its chauffeured limousine during his nine year leadership.
Earlier this year the council launched legal proceedings against Mr Parsons, now a UKIP parliamentary candidate for South Holland and The Deepings in Lincolnshire, to recover £1,500.
The sum was the remnant of the costsof 26 trips he made which were investigated by officials and deemed "not sufficiently connected" to his role as leader.
Officers found two more trips were deemed to be "inappropriate" for the use of the council chauffeur, because of the short distances involved.
Mr Parsons, who quit as UKIP's North West Leicestershire parliamentary candidate earlier this year, said the legal action was unnecessary.
Last week County Hall said he still owed £660 - £500 original debt, plus £160 court costs.
Today it confirmed he had paid it off the outstanding sum.
