When debt redirected under fine collection notice
97 When debt redirected under fine collection notice
A fine collection notice authorising redirection of a debt belonging to an enforcement debtor from a third person must be served on the third person to have effect.
On service of the notice on the third person, the debt is redirected in the hands of the third person to SPER to the extent of the amount stated in the notice.
However, this section does not limit the right of—
the third person to dispute liability to pay all or part of the debt to the enforcement debtor; or
another interested person including, for example, a person other than an enforcement debtor, to claim an entitlement to all or a part of the debt or to a charge or lien on it.
This section does not apply to a regular redirection of a regular debt belonging to an enforcement debtor from a financial institution.
