Hi im new on here and wondering if anyone has experience of wage arrestments?
I have been paying off council tax arrears by wage arrestment for over 1 year. I work as a bank staff nurse so my wages vary depending on the amount of hours i work in a month. I have read the arrestment table and fully understand it is a percentage of wages earned.
I would usually pay around £200=£300 a month to the arrestment and it had left me struggling financially. Recently another company acquired a further arrestment an I was assured my payments would stay the same.
I was paid my wage for november and dont have a payslip to refer to there was a muck up with my wages and although I was eventually paid I've been told my next payslip will include these details. I spoke to my payroll rep and was told I paid £400 to the arrestment this month.
What I'm confused about is that I was paid £780 net wages and after direct debits have around £200 to live on.
How can they take to much in one go basically half of what i was given to live on for a month.
By the time I finish my arrestment I will have paid around 5k in 18 months. I am trying to take responsibility for my debts but due to this shortfall each month I have been unable to set up payments as I havent got the spare cash
If you have taken the time to read this fully thank you and any info is appreciated
