Hallo,
I have a problem with fines, patrons are not charged fines even when the
item checked in is overdue. I have cross checked circulation and fine
rules, and they are all as expected.

Sometimes back the Intranet used to give this error during check-in:
*           Can't call method "truncate" on an undefined value at >>
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm line 1966*

I searched for a solution online and found that setting debarred value to
NULL resolve the "truncate" error, so i ran the SQL:

*UPDATE borrowers SET debarred=NULL WHERE debarred='0000-00-00';*

This solved the error, however the problem on charging fine showed up, it
doesn't charge fine to patrons with overdue items during check-in.

Kindly advice
