The treatment of Direct Earnings Attachments during the coronavirus crisis

SIMCO has contacted the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) via its Debt Management contact centre to enquire if the suspension of DEAs will continue beyond June 2020.

The team advised that, whilst not officially confirmed, the intention is for DEA deductions to resume from July 2020, and that letters would be circulated in due course to communicate this.

SIMCO will await further confirmation of how DEAs will be treated after June 2020 and will update clients as we hear further information.
