Third Party Debt Order

[Rosie500]

i have only just found out today that a Third Party Debt Order was issued against my ex husbands employers for arrears of pension sharing under the Court Order. The pension sharing payments have only just started this year in January. Does this Third Party Debt order mean that his employers have to pay me the arrears.Some clarity on this would be appreciated. *Rosie500

I put the above post on here about a week ago and would be pleased if somebody could enlighten me as to how a Third Party Debt Order works. Can somebody please get back to me on this. Thanks Rosie500

There are plenty of websites that explain how a third party debt order works. Rather than trying to explain it, you should google it, but its straightforward.

To summarise, it is an order that forces a bank, employer or whoever to transfer certain money from their account the beneficiary i.e. you

Thanks for the info. It confirms what I thought. My ex's employers are liable for the debt. I will google it though. Rosie500

No the employer is not liable. Your ex is liable but the employer would have to ring-fence a certain amount of you ex's wages as per the court order and pay to you that sum directly.

Thanks for explaining that. This is going to be a very expensive lesson Â* for my ex husband. Pity he didn't respect the judge's decision away back in 2006! if he had this situation wouldn't exist and I wouldn't have lost my home. This has taken 14 years to finally get what I should have had years ago! His pension pot is going to go down a bit! Serves him right, he has tried every dirty trick in the book to stop me getting anything. It is so true what goes around comes around. It has come back to bite him on the bum!
