Child Support Agency never responds

December 12, 2011

I have an 8 year old daughter whom i paid mainetnance for until she was 4. After this time myself and her mother had an argument regarding money and access, and payments stopped. I have tried to contact the CSA 4 times in the last 2 months to arrange a suitable repayment scheme. They have failed to respond on each occasion.

They have now sent a letter to my previous address stating that they are to take £107,62 per week from my wages for the next year. I take home £215 per week and i pay out £125 per week on rent and bills, in addition to this I have to pay for food, and then I travel 44 miles per day with my job.

This deduction will render it pointless in me working anymore, can they be this cut throat?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    They’re amazingly wonderful at not responding!!!!!!

    I sent them files in Jan – they didn’t look at them
    Chased up in March -still not looked
    Chased in august – still not looked
    Filed complaint in August
    Chased in September – not looked at files, and lost complaint.
    Filed another complaint, about the complaint..
    Chased in November – re opened the file, because they’d archived it without looking at it.
    No response as to complaint….

    A year of wasted time and energy…and they want to charge for their services?!?!?!?!?

    If they were a private enterprise, they’d be bankrupt in 6 months!

    September 2010 CSA inform me of fictitious ‘arrears’.
    I ask to be sent details of how these ‘arrears’ are calculated.
    Receive 30 pages of computer read-outs.
    I reply enclosing letters from the CSA informing me I don’t have any arrears and ask again how these ‘arrears’ have been calculated.
    March this year receive annual computer letter informing me I don’t have arrears.
    Till waiting for reply to my letter sent 15 months ago.

    In a recent BBCTV Panorama programme ‘Unemployment for the overs 50s’ they quoted figures that those employed in the public sector find it harder to find re-employment than those from the private sector.

    I think the staff at the CSA are a good example why this is.

Got something to say?
