Consolidated attachment of earnings order

daveyl

Hi, I had an exisiting attachment of earnings order for 40 pounds a month with a protected income rate of 1000 per month. Another creditior has made a claim for an order and a consolated order granted with a payment of 50 pounds a month and a 800 pound a month protected rate. Due to a change in wage structure at my work the next few months i will be taking home less than 950 a month, minus the 50, so less than 900 pounds a month which I cannot afford. Does anyone have any advice on what i should do next and why the protected rate was lowered 200 pounds:??
Thanks!!

If your income has changed then you can ask for a reconsideration of the protected earnings rate - make your request in writing and with the letter file a new N56 - you can download one here. The expenses allowed when calculating the protected earnings rate are pretty basic but should still allow you enough to cover essentials.

I am presuming your attachment is in the county court by the way. xx xx
