What happens if we arrange to deduct money from your wages to pay your debt.
If we’ve obtained a liability order and we know your employer, we can tell them to deduct money from your wages to pay off your debt.
You can also request that an attachment to earnings is set up to prevent the debt being sent to an enforcement agent (bailiff) and prevent extra costs being added to your account.
The instruction will tell your employer:
By law your employer must follow these instructions and make deductions from your wages as soon as possible, or they could be fined.
You must tell us if you change your employment within 14 days of the change or you may be fined.
