HMCS-Caps.

[Moo1984]

Hi, firstly big thank you to hallowitch who explained how to make new threads!

 

Here's my question.

 

My brother has slight learning difficulties, I've always taken care of him, made sure bills were paid etc.

He phoned me last night bit upset, that on his wage slip £6 was taken out & it said HMCS caps.

 

I have no idea what this is for, nor does he.

 

I'm a bit annoyed as he was really upset by this, £6 may not seem like a lot but due to my brother disabilities it may as well be a £600, he doesn't understand.

 

Anyone shed some light on this?

It would appear he has some type of County Court judgment against him and it has been ordered to pay by Attachment of Earnings, you can read more here - Info about - County Court Bulk Centre - Centralised Attachement of Earnings

 

It may also pay to ask his employer where this has come from if he has no knowledge as the originating order should at least have a Court Name & Case on it.

 

Come back and let us know please.

can you get in touch with his employer (your brother may have to write a letter giving his permission ) to see if they have a ref number from the court then you can get in touch with court to find out what is going on

Its not the CSA is it, they have a habit of doing this without prior knowledge to the debtor, could it be a mistake by chance.

Not sure, he does have a little girl but is on great terms with her mother & more than pays his way.

A brief snippet:

Payment of CAPS Attachment of Earnings Orders by BACS

 

 

 

CAPS now have the facility to accept payments on our attachment of earnings orders by BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System). To pay by BACS, we require the employer to transfer payments directly into our bank account. This is done by first completing a BACS Registration Form and returning it to CAPS (either by post or e-mail to [email protected]). This is done so that we have the employer’s bank details and also to notify us that the employer will commence paying by BACS. The employer must then complete a Bank Payment Request Form and forward this to their bank on each occasion that a payment to CAPS is to be made.

 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN MAKING PAYMENTS BY BACS

 

Individual payments (i.e. one amount for one order) - please always quote the following information when sending a payment:

 

* The correct company name as the remitter's name (field 9)

* The CAPS case number in the remitter's reference (field 10)

 

Various payments (a number of orders in one transaction) - please always quote the following information when sending these payments:

 

* Quote 'Various' as the remitter's reference

* Provide a written schedule. Please include the following on the schedule in order for your payments to be allocated promptly:

 

* Total amount sent

* Payment date

* Breakdown of individual case numbers with defendant names

* How much to allocate to each case
