CSA are forcing my children into poverty
December 1, 2009
Around 4 weeksd ago the CSA contacted my place of work requesting they take payments directly from my wages of £88 per week, this was based on my average earnings of £220 per week. They said this was due to arreers going back to the start of August 09. Which i owed due to the fact i had not responded to any of their correspondance which had been sent to my previous address 200 miles from where i now live.
My ex put in the claim after i had paid her rent for 2 months paid the deposit on her new house and after several thousand of pounds she fraudulently stole from my bank account online. The CSA will not take any of this into consideration.
I am now living with my fiance and her 2 children with another baby on the way and trying to support my new family which is increasingly difficult when my wages are halved by unreasonable demands from the CSA. They have on several occasions sent sensitive documents meant for my employer to my home address dispite being told 4 times by myself and my employer the correct address, they told me that due to the fact i did not recieve any correspondance through Aug, Sept, and Oct as they were sent to a previous address i can appeal against the arrears so i did only to be told that they do not believe i was not living there even though i was working 200 miles away from that address the whole time and a new family had moved into my previous address.
The CSA in my opinion are totally incompetant in order to give £88 per week for my one non resident daughter they are causing neglect and poverty to the 3 children i am supporting, this means the CSA’s actions contradict their supposed purpose, i also believe they have a guilty till proven innocent policy which again totally contradicts the rulings of the european courts for human rights.
I think a full investigation and overhaul of the CSA is long overdue as i am fed up of being victimised and driven into poverty and being told it is due to legislation which is the only response they seem to have.
Thanks for reading
