How an attachment of earnings order is commenced

If you ignore the form, or bin it(!), hoping things will go away then be aware that an application of an 'attachment of earnings order' by a creditor with the assistance of the county court is an advanced form of enforcement. As mentioned this stage often comes after bailiffs have been unsuccessful in their work to enforce a judgment.
