Yes they can do this, it is called a consolidated attachement of earnings order, but they can only do this if you have failed to make payments under a suspended attachment of earnings order.
The total amount deducted cannot fall below your PER (protected earnings rate - basically what you need to cover rent, food etc.) which the court will decide based on your income and expenditure form which you had to fill in when the attachment of earnings order was served on you.
If you disagree with the amount that is being deducted, and you wish the court to consider lowering the amount deducted, you need to contact your local county court to make an 'application to vary the order' you will have to pay £35 for this, unless you are in receipt of Income Support/Disability Living Allowance/Working Tax Credit below a certain level.
This form allows you to resubmit the income and expenditure form in case you missed anything first time. If you struggle with forms take the forms to the CAB.
Hope this helps, e-mail me if you need any more help.

I would think that they can, but I believe the rule of thumb that most go by is no more than 50% of your total income. The judges have to allow you enough living expense money, and often, if you prove that you cannot pay the other debts you have or that you will become homeless, they will not even keep that much of your check. I would consult an attorney before you end up with a bunch of them. Get a pre-paid legal service. You can get them for under $30 per month and you can contact them for all the advice you want, plus, they will look over contracts and judgments for you at no extra fee. They can also refer you to an attorney in your area, at a discounted rate, and you'll only pay by the hour instead of having to pay a flat rate of $500 or $1000.

The answer is yes, up to a certain point that is determined by the state you live in, but in some states it can be as much as 80% of your income.

Yes, I think so. My brother has one from the IRS and one from the State of Oregon.
