Attachment of Earnings/Council Tax

Hi, I have an attachement of earnings in place to repay council tax arrears of £329 from a previous property. Due to the amount I earn, they are entitled to collect 12% of my income.
In December I worked overtime and they collected approx £133 (don't have my wage slip to hand for the exact figure). In January I got me standard monthly pay and they collected £112 approx. This means that I owe around £84. Will they just collect £84 in the final month or take the full £112 (12%) and leave me to chase up a refund?
Anyone had any experience in this area?
Thanks you x

The attachment to earnings order legally only allows them to take the set percentage or amount of which the order is made to and as you only owe £84 outstanding, they should only take this amount.
But don't be hesitant, it is your right to feel reassured about what will happen.....so please phone and ask them to clarify.0
