earnings arrestment scott and co

[andromeda411]

hi all,

 

jut looking for a bit of advice.

 

regarding scott and co, my wife and i are both paying on an earnings arrestment on our salaries for council tax. we received the arrestment for just over £5000. we are now down to around £1500.

i pay more towards it cause i earn more but when will our respective employers be able to stop making deductions as my wife's employer does not know how much i have paid towards it and vice-versa.

 

on my wife's payslip this month she paid her usual amount and it says amount outstanding £4100 but this does not take into account how much i have paid and vice-versa. does scott and co let our employers know when it is paid off?

 

thanks

Was both you and your wifes name on the charge for payment previous to the Wages Arrestment?

 

I have never heard of or dealt with a joint wages arrestment but I certainly would be contacting scott and co the month before the final payment is due to ensure that they will be withdrawing the wages arrestment

 

I'll ask national debtline to look in to check it for you

hi,

 

thanks for the reply.

 

the council tax bills come in to me and my wife adressed one for me and a seperate one for her (but they are both exactly the same) so i presume we are both liable for payment.

thats strange - it is normally the one council tax bill with both names on it

[andromeda411]

sorry,

 

you are correct, it is one bill addressed to MR C and MRS L ******

 

just checked the last one.

Hi,

 

Give Scott & Co a phone and ask for a payment breakdown, you are obviously both paying the same debt so need to know the score regarding how much in total is outstanding.

 

On an annual basis, employers must provide a statement to each employee subject to an earnings arrestment and to the creditor containing information in relation to sums deducted, dates of deduction, etc.

hi all,

thanks for the replies.

 

we keep a monthly spreadsheet of what i have paid and what my wife has paid. it also keeps track of total paid and remaining balance.

by my reckoning we have a 3 months left so i will phone scott and co after 2 and see what they say

 

thanks again
