Quote: I recieved a letter from Scott & Co stating a wages arrestment for council tax arrears. The council house is my girlfriends. the wages arrestment letter has my girlfriends name on it with my work details. my girlfriend does not work. Were you living with your girlfriend for the period of the arrears? Yes I was Quote: Will the arrestment still go ahead through my workplace - with my girlfriends name on the details? It shouldn't but it might. They could of course correct the name on the earnings arrestment if you are indeed liable. The amount of any arrestment would depend the amount of money that you earn and is set out in The Statutory Deductions Tables in Schedule 2 of the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987. Quote: P.s I am starting a new job in a month or so and I will be handing in my notice. what happens if the arrestment has already went ahead at this point. With the introduction of the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007 it is compulsory for the employer to tell the sheriff officers if the employee leaves their employment and the name and address of the new employer if known. Do I have to inform my employer my new job details

I recieved a letter from Scott & Co stating a wages arrestment for council tax arrears. The council house is my girlfriends. the wages arrestment letter has my girlfriends name on it with my work details, think this is because my gf told Scott & co my work details . My girlfriend does not work. Will the arrestment still go ahead through my workplace - with my girlfriends name on the details? Thanks for any help. I am going to try and get this resolved ASAP before the arrestment happens and offer some kind of payment. P.s I am starting a new job in a month or so and I will be handing in my notice. what happens if the arrestment has already went ahead at this point. Thanks for any help.
