Subject: Requirement for Court-Issued Attachment of Earnings Order Prior to Salary Deductions

Dear [Employer’s Name],

I am writing to formally address an important matter regarding deductions made or proposed to be made from my salary on behalf of a third party.

Please be advised that, under UK employment and enforcement law, deductions from an employee’s wages can only be lawfully made in certain circumstances, such as:

Where required or authorised by statute;

Where the employee has given prior written consent;

Where there is a valid attachment of earnings order issued by a court.

Specifically, under Section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, it is unlawful for an employer to make deductions from wages unless one of the above conditions is met. In the case of court orders, an Attachment of Earnings Order (AEO) must be issued by a court and must clearly specify the details of the judgment, the creditor, the amount owed, and the employer’s obligations.

As such, I respectfully request that no deductions be made from my salary in relation to any third-party claims unless and until a legitimate court-issued Attachment of Earnings Order is provided to me for verification. In the absence of such documentation, any ongoing or future deductions of this nature must cease immediately, as they may be unlawful and constitute a breach of my statutory rights.

I trust this matter will be addressed with the seriousness it warrants. Please provide written confirmation that any unauthorised deductions will be halted, or that no such deductions will be made without proper legal authority.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
