Memorandum submitted by Chris Ambrosino
I work for the Consumer Credit Counselling Service,
a debt advice charity working nationally in the UK. I have come
across instances where clients have CSA payments being made through
attachment to earnings orders which have been increased to high
amounts to cover arrears that have built up. There appears to
be no appeal process to this regardless of its affects upon the
client and their household. I find this unbelievable, particularly
in cases when the arrears have been built up due to a lengthy
calculation process. I have taken advice on this subject and understand
there are certain reviews underway and would like to give my support
to these.
