Why should resident parents work?
September 3, 2010
OMG how simple are some men!!!
In the last 4 years of paying for my daughter to go to nursery so i can work full time has cost near on £20,000, ok the child benefit and tax credits system has provided around £6000 which means i have still paid out £14000 just on nursery fees alone. I am unsure why absent fathers feel they should not have to pay towards their children, and am also confused as to why they think paying maintenance is giving money to their ex to do what they want with.
My argument is why the hell should resident parents go to work full time to support their children and have nothing at the end of it because they are the only ones that provide for their children. Non resident parents think the CSA leave them in financial hardship, well if the non resident parent had the children full time i would well imagine they would be in more financial difficulty than Read more
Ex says I’m not the father, but CSA says otherwise
September 2, 2010
First, my so-called ‘wife’ as I cannot afford to get a divorce…. tells people that I am not the natural father of the child. I do not have a relationship with the child as the mother has alienated me from the child. Yes, I have been arrested for CDV against her….so have many other guys!
The kid is 16 now….been in juvenile detention….and the state is trying it’s best to take her out of the home as the so-called ‘mother’ hits her…I am not even sure they haven’t already taken her out of the house.
I’m behind on child support….The state wants to take the mother’s rights and my right’s….Hell, I want them to….I want to relinquish my right’s so I don’t have to pay child support….Heck, the money only goes up her mother’s nose anyway.
A friend of mine says her husband went in and stopped the court order for child support when her daughter reached the age of 18….She said she went to a lawyer as he was supposed to continue paying until the daughter finished college…..The lawyer advised her Read more
CSA ignores my recorded delivery letters of complaint
September 1, 2010
Ref – Donna Holland complaints officer Crew ext 14644.
Despite many RECORDED DELIVERED LETTERS and requests for FULL BREAKDOWN AND EXPLANATION in how my case the figures are worked out from my accounts supplied (self employed)- The CSA choose to ignore my requests and send out threats with different amount of figures each time from week to week making their own RULES UP as they go along.
My one Daughter is almost 19 and has finished college and still they are requesting payment for her too??? I have harrassing phone calls that dont seem to END despite requests to deal with myself in writing only. Many departments have dealt with my case including the APPEALS department and still “NO SOLUTIONS” to how they arrive at the figures they supply me.
Who is in charge of these people as it seems they all do their “own” thing without gathering all the information that I have supplied on more than one occasion. Its not a lot to ask, yet they are not capable of supplying what I request, yet it is LAW to show a full breakdown on how they arrive at their calculations inclusive of all monies already received which I have paid monthly since CSA started.

Greedy ex only interested in money
September 1, 2010
I split up from my ex-girlfriend 13yrs ago, we had a child together but the relationship was rocky and in the end we split up.
I met my now ex-wife and got married, we went on to have 6 kids together who I love so much and I see them every weekend.
Now I know I ain’t perfect and I used to see my eldest son every weekend but it soon dwindled and now I don’t see him at all and I only have my self to blame, I used to pay a DOE every month for him but I had an accident which put me on incapacity for a long time.
The CSA contacted my employer as they were not getting money who told them I was on the sick ect.
In 2007 I had retrained and returned to work when the CSA hit me with a £12000 back pay bill, I argued the toss but although they knew I was out of work because I hadn’t told them they kept charging me the full amount.
I might add that because we have so many children then I was only expected to pay the back pay.
The beginning of this year we separated and although I tried to keep the family together I moved out 3 months ago. I am now 35 miles away from my 6 kids and it is costing me £25 a week to go and pick them up.
I am currently earning £1080 take home, my rent is £550, council tax is £140, electric £80, credit card £130 and that’s without living expenses.
I had a letter from the CSA over the weekend stating that they Read more
Those who pay are the ones who suffer the most
August 31, 2010
So the ones who are paying and have been paying for years are discriminated against, because the CSA doesn’t bother pursuing the ones who have never paid or are deemed as uncollectable.
This matter should be put before the supreme court, as it is blatant discrimination. Feckless fathers being allowed to get away with, having arrears written off while the ones who pay and want to pay are being hounded and targetted repeatedly.
CSA shouild be disbanded now and forced to repay all the monies back to those who have paid (and have all ready paid into the tax system that pays benefits any way). How can it be that somebody is allowed not to pay and others are paying. Discrimination!
CSA should stand for ‘Corrupt Sanctamonious Agressors’
August 31, 2010
CSA, what organisation are they referring themselves to? I feel they certainly need to rename themselves; Corrupt Sanctamonious Aggressors, this would most certainly fit and would be correctly descriptive,
In No way (and evidently so) are they supportive to your children niether do they maintain the welfare of your children or put the welfare of your children as a priority, the evidence of their actions states quite clearly so.
The CSA are no different to any other terrorist organisation. We find ourselves at war that seems never endless, leaving our children suffering at the constant battles being fought without any reprieve and stress induced by the CSA’s incompetence, arrogance and ignorance.
They are happy when you are broken by their power, 9-11 & 7-7 are both clear examples of this!!! both are examples of terrorism!! The CSA exact terror on the NRP without any consideration as to how your children will be affected by their actions. Just as the terrorists have no thought as to how their actions affect their victims relatives by result of their attack! lets face it, your children are Read more
Shared custody but CSA still wants money
August 30, 2010
My kids are 13 1/2 & 16 3/4 years, split with their Mum approx 12 years ago. Never had any dealing with the CSA until a couple of months back.
Have always had the children 50/50 or pretty darn close, have always paid my share of clothing, pocket money, treats, holiday etc.
3 months ago I decide I no longer want anything to do with ex partner & her mood swings & haven’t spoken to her since, kids are old enough now so we can make our own arrangements.
So she puts into the CSA. Upto this point my daughter would spend 17 – 19 days a month with me, my son less. But I never had the child benefit books in my name, the ex was poorer than me, she doesn’t work, through choice & I wasn’t bothered by this.
However her having these books means that disputed PWC goes to the one with the book. So I have now applied for my sons book.
So I have one book, she has another. So will the CSA cancel the claims? Nope, I have to put a counter claim in, so we both pay each other.
But as I earn more I am expected to pay more, where is the justice or common sense in that?
Ex made a false claim as daughter lives with me
August 29, 2010
I have 3 children, a step daughter of 27, a daughter of 24 and a son from a different marraige of 17. I enjoy my time with my family and have always enjoyed long and protracted contact with all my kids.
I work for a newspaper for £1,500 gross per year. (Yeah pathetic I know, but that’s another story) I opened my payslip last week to find £271 and change had been removed from my salary. Leaving me with £660 to live on for a month.
I contacted my payroll who informed me it was the CSA. I spoke to them immediately and was told it was for £7,997 arrears for my 24 year old daughter.
Er….she lived with me from the age of 13 as a result of a place of safety award as her mother was a Read more
MP solved my CSA problem for a short while
August 29, 2010
The csa is a load of rubbish.
I have lost count of the amount of times i have had to ring the csa because of missed payments only to be told they are ‘locked’ in the system. What is the point of them taking the money from an ex partner if they dont pass it on to the parent with care. It has caused me so much hardship and stress and in the end i had a meeting with my MP because i was so disgusted.
She sorted it out and my payments were regular for a while but im not receiving them again now. Ive just rang and 3 payments are in the system waiting to be released.
Total waste of time!!
CSA is useless, but selfish father is the real problem
August 28, 2010
The csa is a total, utter waste of time. After a court hearing for contact, the judge informed my ex he’d need anger management and supervised visits as my sons were scared of him. This was enough for the spiteful bastard to stop paying just in time for Christmas and their birthdays! This was Dec ’06. My case has since gone from Plymouth to Hastings to Belfast (he is self-employed) where it basically rotted in a drawer after being “misplaced” before finding a home in Newcastle.
In this time my ex had taken out an IVA (ran up 5 credit card debts to force sale of house!) – gone bankrupt – had the bankruptcy discharged after 8mths – continued to pay for an older daughter (£300pm)and earnt in the region of £200,000. He wont pay because he doesn’t want to… it makes a mockery of all the fathers out there that are paying for their kids and still being hounded. My case actually went to court in Aug’09 to obtain a liability order and I didn’t know til earlier this year..he did! There is now a query on it and can’t be enforced as he decided there was a change in his circumstances requiring a re-assessment. There is also a pymnt in court notes of £7700 which he says he paid directly to me but I never recieved. The one pymnt I did get was through the bailiffs.
That was May’10 and the bailiff action has been suspended 3 times since and won’t Read more
