ITV wants to hear from families better off on benefitsWe received an email from Laura Stevens from ITV. She wants to hear from families who would be better off on benefits after April 2012. Have a read of her email and, if you think you could help, drop her an email.
We are looking to put together a programme about the Working Tax Credit Cuts for ‘Tonight’ on ITV1 where families working less than 24 hours a week will have them cut. It would be great if you could pass my details to any families who choose to go to work for all the right reasons but who would actually be better off on benefits from April 2012 – perhaps they pay for child care for their kids which is hugely expensive, they’d get their rent paid and other assorted benefits. Families who work because it’s the right thing to do and they want to set a good example to their children but who would be as well off if they didn’t work.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes

Advice
Ex stopped paying CSA when he had a new babyI am at my wits end with the CSA. In June 2010 my ex asked them to do an assessment as he was ‘told’ he was paying too much. He was paying £300 per month for 3 kids. We have 4 but he has never paid for our eldest. The CSA took 4 months to assess and during this time he did not pay me a penny.
The CSA told him he had to pay £346 per month and he had to pay the arrears. He refused to do this and begged me to go back to the old arrangement. I agreed stupidly on the condition that if he ever missed I would contact the CSA. In July 2011 when his new baby was born he decided to stop all payments. He had missed 3 already. He got made redundant in May 2011 and walked away with a large cheque and straight into a new job. I asked him why he stopped paying and his answer was Read more »

Complaints
My long complaint letter to the CSATHIS IS A COPY OF A LETTER SENT TO THE CSA, I DO NOT MIND YOU PUBLISHING IT AS LONG AS MY NAME, ADDRESS AND OTHER IDENTIFYING FACTS AND NAMES HAVE BEEN REMOVED, I AM AWAITING THE OUTCOME.
Dear Sir / Madam
My apologies in advance: this is likely to match War and Peace in size.
I am trying to resolve a matter which has been a bugbear for many years. I will have to start from the beginning in order to bring you up to speed with my case.
Before the CSA was born I had to deal through the courts for maintenance for my 2 eldest daughters named above. When the CSA started I asked for it to be processed through the CSA as he had proved to be a slippery character where paying for his kids was concerned. You eventually found him but he had changed his name, in this time he had also denied all / any knowledge of fathering these two children – irrespective of him signing the birth Read more »
