    If OP wants to be out of work, that's the way to do it.

    Book two weeks holiday and then they can see what happens when you’re out of office. May make them appreciate you more. 
    Always assuming your employer will agree to your doing this while they are so short staffed.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

     Get an attachment of earnings which means money issues are there to be talked about. 
    Get someone to drag you through the courts for a debt you don't owe? Marvellous idea. Can't imagine why other posters haven't rushed to suggest it.

    Weirdly they now see a AOE as a negative thing rather than a positive thing?!

    I worked for a company once where when it was decided that something needed to be produced, I always seemed to the one allocated to do it as it seemed to be the best fit. Ended up being the 1st one in & last one out nearly every day.

    Finally grew a brain & left. Suddenly when things were being asked for they finally realised how much I did. But by that time it was too late.

    If they won’t agree to the OP taking holiday as they are short staffed that would open the door to discussions over salary/responsibilities as the employer has acknowledged there is an issue.

    OP also needs to bear in mind that if they're doing the work of 3 people,  apparently satisfactorily, then the company are going to start querying whether 3 positions are needed.
    If you focus completely on the salary you may find yourself with a small increase and still doing the work of 3 people.  What is your priority here? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
