Earnings arrestments are a type of diligence that orders an employer to make regular deductions from your earnings to pay a debt. Earning arrestments can be deducted from your monthly, weekly or daily from your net income.
The earnings arrestment is the most common type of diligence in Scotland and will remain in place until a debt has been paid.
If you have been threatened with an Earnings arrestment by a creditor (the company to who you owe money), don’t wait and seek help immediately.
