Council took me to court illegally

The employer gets a letter stating the amount outstanding, date of the court order allowing the deduction, details of the appropriate legislation allowing the order and details of how to pay the order.

I was on about the council when speaking to the court. I get DEA's quite regularly through our payroll. Its only the person who processes the payroll that will ever really know that the OP had the order so i cant see how their name has been dragged through the mud?

Totally different issuing process for council tax attachments compared to a DEA - the court will grant the council a liability order in respect of the balance deemed to be due. After that the court have no more say in the matter (unless it goes for bankruptcy, committal to prison or charging order) and it's the council's discretion as to whether they issue the attachment of earnings order to the employer (from a range of possible options).

End result should be the same though in respect of payment for the attachment of earnings order.
