Payday Loan Companies/Arresting Earnings

JDS273

Hi,

Can Payday/short term loan companies arrest earnings via a court?
I thought I waqs finally debt free but an old loan has resurface with the collection agency (Same company as the loan provider under a different name) advise they have approached the court about an attachment to earnings.

Wondering wether to ignore it or at least offer some sort of token payment, I dont imagine their attempts at deducting straight from my earnings would be successful.

Thanks

I wouldn't ignore it unless you're happy with them having an attachment of earnings. Why do you think they won't get it - are you not working?

Better to agreement a repayment plan on mutual terms, rather than just theirs.

Its been sent to some Legal Services mob anyway, Ill arrange some sort of token payment with them for monthly instalments.

Yeah, Im on temporary low income,so even taking a full months wage would only cover about half of it.

I should add, the company that my file has apparently been sent to do have a website, but no reviews, feedback, discussion elsewhere etc
