Non-payment
When non-payment occurs, a trustee can extend the period of the PTD and/or demand payment from the client’s employer.
1s174 B(S)A 2016When a client signs a trust deed, they sign a statement that, in the event of non-payment, their employer can be contacted, and the trustee can demand payment from the employer.
This can happen when the client misses two consecutive payments to the PTD.
The employer must make the deduction and pass the money on to the trustee or they will become liable for the payments. They can also charge a fee for this comparable to that where an earnings arrestment is in place.
