Debate
Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
The Bill already makes sufficient provision specifically for the debtor to challenge the direct deduction order through rights to make representations before any money is taken, and to request an internal review and then an appeal to the tribunal concerning the terms of the order. I cannot stress enough that the debtor can avoid this power entirely by working with the PSFA to agree affordable and sustainable repayment terms.
