    solooking at the attachment of earnings thing for the council tax its 12% of my earnings which would be 150ish pm from my wages. I'm unsure if I sould agree to this or try to pay the £240 which they want.

    which would be the best way to go? I would struggle with the £240 but that would pay it off by the new tax year
