Wages arrestment scotland

[Smcp]

My husband and I had joint wages arrestment put in place for Council tax arrears my employer has stopped deducting my wages a few months ago but my husband is still having the money taken off of him. I assumed they would stop at the same time is there any reason that this would happen?

 

Thanks

I've moved your post to the Dealing with Debt in Scotland Forum as things are different north of the border.

Hello and Welcome Smcp,

 

I'd also assume both would stop at the same time, you would need to get in touch with the Sheriff Officers who actioned the wages arrestment and find out the reason for this, do you know how much is still owed and what payments have been made.

Definitely check if there is actually anything still owing. Depending on his work they might be making these deductions automatically and its just not stopped at the right time, even if they are making them manually they could simply have forgotten the date it was meant to stop. That happened to me, my boss used to send a cheque every month then take the amount out of my weekly wage, he ended up paying for three extra months and neither of us noticed because we were just so used to it coming off. Thankfully it was around the end of the tax year and the accountant noticed and I was able to apply for a refund. If you are owed anything back make sure you get it!
