Remaining salary cannot be seized if the proportional amount has already been withheld according to the legal scale

An association inquired about the procedure to follow upon receiving new salary attachment orders after a previous one had already been executed. The Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) responded that, once the proportional part of the salary has been seized in accordance with the scale set out in the Civil Procedure Law, it is not possible to seize the remainder even if a new debt arises.

The question raised

Cuestión planteada ¿Cómo debe proceder la consultante al recibir un embargo sobre salarios con posterioridad a la recepción y ejecución de otro embargo sobre dichos salarios?

The DGT's ruling

Conforme a la escala del artículo 607.2 de la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil, una vez embargada la parte proporcional del salario, sueldo o pensión, si concurre una nueva deuda, no es posible embargar el resto. El excedente debe quedar libre de responsabilidad.
