Affair in 2004 is now costing me through the CSA

October 19, 2011

I have received a message this morning from a court presenting officer asking me to contact her.

This all stems from an affair I had in january 2004 and in the october of 2004 a child was born and the mother claimed that I was the father. I subsequently took a dna test in january 2005 and received no further communication until 2010 when I appointed a solicitor to sort.

The solicitor found all sorts of problems with the csa timelines and supposed letters sent with wrong dates (these letters were never received), my solicitor has since ceased practising and the file is being held by solicitor ombudsman (I think). The csa have since been in contact and I offered to pay for another dna test and they informed me it is too late and they would rather go to court and push for my imprisonment unless I pay them £6k+ immediately.

What can I do to sort this out?

    Either the child is yours or not.
    What happened to the DNA test?
    Yours – you pay.
    Not yours – visit your local newspaper.
