CSA are overcharging so that the ex won’t kick up a fuss

July 23, 2014

I phoned and told the csa that my wages had been reduced and that I had my children 2 nights per week instead of 1, 14 month later and I contacted them again asking why no changes had taken place in my payments.

They didn’t know why nothing had been altered, but knew I had contacted them, so I’ve overpaid for 14 month, yet they will not reduce my payments till I’m awarded back my overpayments.

Said I can do that but if my ex complained I would have to start paying my support again, there is no justice? It’s all for one and not the other!

Regards

    They will not reduce regular maintenance payments until a reassessment has been completed.

    Did you send in appropriate wage slips, as proof, at the time you requested a reassessment for reduced income?
    Did provide an annotated calendar, as proof, when you informed them of increased overnight stays?

    Why did you wait 14 months? 26 weeks is normally the maximum time you should have to wait.

    Never contact by phone, always write, retain copies, send proof and always send by recorded delivery.
