Hi in 2015 when i was working for xxx i had an attachment of earnings put in place by my local council and the money was taken out of my wages monthly untill the said debt was paid off in feb 2016 ......

now i have had a bailiff knock at my door at 6.30 am demanding money that was not paid in this order ..apparently there is a £150 shortfall that phs did not pay in error .... yet they stopped the attachment as paid in full ...

i was still employed by this company til aug 2016 and to my knowledge snd belief the debt had been paid and should have been by xxx on the attachment of earnings ....

its a complete nightmare before christmas as the bailiff wants £463.28 off me ... what are my rights? He issued a removal of goods notice as well yo boot! ...

i have sent an e- mail to xxx to sort this out ... please help

Hello there.

I've moved your thread from Questions about CAG to the bailiffs forum and left you a link to follow. The forum guys should be along later.

I have removed from my post your employer details and you may want to get a message to one of the moderators to do the same to your post.

You say that the attachment was paid in full in 2016. If so, then your enquiries must be with the local authority that issued the attachment of earning. You must call them this morning. Once you have done so, please call back.

Thank you BA. Employer name edited.

Called the local council ... the revenue office are not available until monday and got a reply from the company i used to work for saying they are " looking into it, is it true they can get fined if they have not completed or made an error on an attachment of earnings whilst i was in their employment?

It is my understanding that the employer can be fined (and this has actually happened) if they refuse to set up the Attachment of Earnings. I don't believe that they can be fined for errors made whilst the attachment is in place.

wouldnt they become liable as a common law tort?
