Attachment of Earnings

Your employer will continue to take payments until you have paid what you owe.

By law, your employer must follow the Attachment of Earnings Order and may be prosecuted and fined up to £2,000 if they do not.

Once we issue the Attachment of Earnings Order, we can only stop deductions once you have paid us all the council tax you owe.
