The court should issue a stop notice to the employer. To be honest, I would have done the same when I used to do payroll. You get notification from the court to start, you need notification from the court to the employer to stop.

Hopefully they should receive such letter soon (you would hope they would do the one to your OH and one to the employer at the same time)

Have to agree, the employer needs to receive a direct instruction from the court.

The money deducted after the DRO was made needs to be returned to the debtor.

Apparently according to the court, who both DH and the employer spoke to today the letter was sent to both DH and employer on the same day. Seems strange that they seem to have not received it.

How would he get the money back and am a bit worried about this as not far off the £300 now seeeing as its taken so long to stop. The DRO WAS on 20th Dec so cant see why its taking this long

Hi, after making sure it is not above £300 you should write to the creditor and ask for the money to be returned as they did not have a remedy for the debt after the date of the DRO. If they didn't pay up (and they are a 'normal' creditor ie with a credit licence) then a formal complaint and referral to F.O.S. if needed.
