  • Bankruptcy Pros + Cons Pros Things to Consider
    Bankruptcy Pros + Cons Bankruptcy is a formal insolvency procedure in which all your financial affairs are taken under the control of an “Official Receiver” or a “Trustee”, who has the power to sell your assets to pay your creditors. The duty of the Official Receiver and Trustee is to investigate and realise assets for the benefit of your creditors. The Insolvency Service states that you should check if there are other ways you can deal with your debts before you apply for bankruptcy. Pros Bankruptcy is a relatively quick process, often lasting 12 months. When the bankruptcy order is made interest and charges on included debts will be frozen. Creditor collection activity will cease once a bankruptcy order is made. Until such time if you currently have any recovery or legal action this may not be suspended or withdrawn. If legal action starts to recover debts prior to the commencement of bankruptcy this may result in further cost to you. Outstanding personal tax liabilities can be included in a bankruptcy. Things to consider An upfront payment of £655 (for Northern Ireland £647) is required in order to access the solution. Further fees are payable and are taken from funds recovered for creditors. You will not be asked to pay anything further; the fees will be taken from any sale proceeds and/or payments you make to your Official Receiver or Trustee. You may be required to make a payment into the bankruptcy for 36 months. If your sole source of income is state benefits it is unlikely you will be required to make a monthly payment based on Insolvency Service guidance.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER The case is before the court on Defendant Kramer & Frank, P.C.’s (hereinafter “K&F”) motion to dismiss. (Doc. 27.) The motion is fully briefed and is ripe for decision. (Docs. 29, 43, 48.) For the reasons stated herein, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED. I. Facts The following facts are taken from Plaintiff’s first amended complaint (Doc. 22) and are assumed to be true for purposes of the motion to dismiss.

  • Employer's Guide to Direct Earnings Attachments
    Employer’s guide to Direct Earnings Attachments Direct Earnings Attachments (DEAs) allow us to recover overpaid Housing Benefit by making deductions from earnings without the need to apply for a court order. They give us the opportunity to recover overpaid benefits from people who are employed if they have either refused to repay, are unable to agree an acceptable repayment plan or have not kept to a repayment arrangement. A DEA has its own rules which follow some of the workings of a Deduction from Earnings Order (DEO) and some workings of an Attachment of Earnings Order (AEO). A DEA does not replace either of these other orders and you may still receive requests to apply deductions for a DEO or AEO for your employees. If we request that you apply a DEA, you must do so unless you: are a new business, or have fewer than 10 employees. If this applies to you, you can operate a DEA if your employee agrees, but you are not required to do so. 1. Your responsibilities As an employer, you must: . apply a Direct Earnings Attachment when we ask you to make deductions from the employee’s net earnings (unless you are a new business or have fewer than 10 employees) . make sure you take the right amount from your employee’s earnings each week or month . make payments of the amounts deducted to us by the 19th day of the month following the month the deduction is made . keep a record of each deduction taken, and the employee from whose earnings it was made .

Air passenger duty (APD) is a levy paid by passengers to depart from UK (and Isle of Man) airports on most aircraft. Onward-bound passengers on connecting flights are not liable, nor those on aircraft weighing under 10 tonnes or with fewer than 20 seats. It was introduced in 1994 at a rate of £5 per passenger to EEA destinations, and £10 to non-EEA destinations. In 2001 a higher rate for non-economy class seats was introduced. In 2009 EEA and non-EEA bands were replaced with four distance bands (measured from the destination’s capital city to London, not the actual flight distance) around thresholds of 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 miles. In 2015 the highest two bands were abolished, leaving only two remaining: band A up to 2,000 miles and band B over 2,000 miles. For each band there is a reduced rate (for the lowest class seats), a standard rate and a higher rate (for seats in aircraft of over 20 tonnes equipped for fewer than 19 passengers).
