CSA blunder almost splits up a family
April 13, 2008
The CSA are known for their blunders, but this one is exceptional even for them. They sent a letter to Andrew Ward claiming he owed money for a three year old child he had fathered, which resulted in his wife thinking he had cheated on her. She ordered him to pack his bags and leave the house, even though he had no idea what was going on.
When he realised he had been accused of sleeping with another woman and fathering a child three years prior, he knew it was a terrible error on behalf of the child support agency, as he had had a vasectomy eight years previously.
As it turned out they’d made an error with the national insurance numbers, and thus caused his wife to believe he had cheated on her.
Unbelievable.
