HOW DO I OBTAIN AN ATTACHMENT OF EARNINGS
AGAINST A JUDGEMENT DEBTOR?
An Application is made to Court. The
Court will then send out to the debtor a request
to provide details of the debtor’s income
and expenditure. The debtor will also be asked
to make an offer of stage payments.
The Court will return to the creditor in order
to discuss the stage payments but will make
any Order that it sees fit. This will typically
be for an Attachment of Earnings Order. The
monies are deducted from the employee’s wages
by the debtor’s employee at source and then
passed on to the centralised Attachment Earnings
Scheme in Northampton who will collect those
monies and pay them to the creditor. The disadvantage
of this scheme is that it can only work if
the debtor has an employer. |
