Attachement of Earnings

We had a debit of £449 due to Essex and Suffolk Water, which was with their debt collection agency, this then went to court we got a CCJ and we were paying £50 a month, we filled out an attachement of earnings form because we were late paying once month, and asked for it to be suspended which it was. Anyway in February this year we paid the £449 and Essex and Suffolk water sent us a letter confirming the debt was paid and settled. Today my Hubby has come home with his payslip for April and it shows a £100 payment to the court for the above debit as an attachement of earnings, I obviously need to ring the court to find out why they are still asking for this money, but i was wondering:-

1. Does my husbands employer need to inform him that they had received the order?

2. What will the court do with this £100 that they have received from hubbys employer as the debt is settled?

Has anybody else had this happen, as we are confused and annoyed.:mad:

    from what i know, the employer dosnt do anynthing the instruction comes from the court, therefore they should inform the employer

    for the overpayment, provide the court with the letter they should refund, if they have already passed the funds on get onto the water company

    I understand the concepts of cooking and cleaning
    ........ I Just dont understand how they apply to me!
