Employer DEA Deductions.
Discussion
When I was out of work about 18 months ago, DWP gave me a loan which they said would be collected direct from my employer.
I changed jobs about 4 months ago, and received a letter a couple of weeks ago, asking me to resume payments, and that they would approach my employers directly.
Payday today, and my employers have paid full £396 that I owe and deducted accordingly.
2 questions. 1) Can they just take this without asking me first, and 2) should I not be given the option to set up a payment plan?

When I've received these direct deductions notifications at work they come with guidance on the amount taken dependant on the income of the person.
Per below it seems that they've possibly been correct if they've taken the 20%?
