Driving Ban for Unpaid Benefit Debts | Liverpool News
Description
Starting this October, if you owe the DWP over a thousand dollars and can afford to pay but aren’t, you could face a temporary driving ban—targeting only those deliberately avoiding repayment. New Direct Deduction Orders let officials seize money directly from bank accounts, even if you’re no longer on benefits or employed. Courts must approve bans, considering your circumstances like job needs, and payment plans can suspend or lift them. The government stresses these measures hit only those who refuse to pay, not those genuinely struggling—and they’ll work with you to find solutions.
