CSA took money for a year so why havent i received it

January 29, 2012

Two years ago i slit with my sons dad, 6mnth after the split i contacted CSA as he wouldnt help out fineaniely in feb2011 i received a letter stateing £5 a wk would be deducted from his benifit enclosed was a giro cheque for £20.

In december 2011 i contacted my ex asking for fineanciel help towards christmas to be told “—- off i pay maintainance!” i then rang CSA and they confirmed that since feb2011 they had in fact been taking £10 a fortnite from him however they couldnt explain why the payments had not been Read more

Security check failure and wrong maintenance assessment

January 25, 2012

Firstly an address that iv never lived at appeared on the CSA,s system, my case file to be exact. The CSA have sent letters to this address containing my personal information. I’ve complained to them about this and they told me that the address probably appeared on their system through another government agency. This is absolute rubbish as no other agency would have this information unless i gave it to them. I’ve never lived at this address, also its in another part of the UK. I asked the CSA ta send me all my personal data records dating Read more

Paying CSA with four children on file 3

January 23, 2012

Me and my husband have been together 10 years and he had a daughter with his previous partner. They split when she was 1 half years and she went to the CSA they was takeing £280 per month then she asked him to pay her £20 per week cash in hand he said no so she stopped him seeing his daughter.

We then got together and got married and went on to have four children. Firstly in 2007 we was told by the CSA we didnt have to pay nothing because my husbands wages Read more

CSA doubled my payments with no warning

January 22, 2012

I’ve been paying £120 for my child since 2006 s told by the CSA and last year the mother wanted a review as she had got herself into loads of debt. I was then informed by her that I had to pay £247, but not by the CSA, I had to call them! So I asked for a review myself and after sending them wage slips from Aug, Sept and Oct, where I was earning considerably less then the beginning of the year. I was then told again by the mother that it gone up again to £267 a month.

After speaking to the CSA I feel they have not answered any of my questions, like “Why has it increased so much in such a short space of time when my wages haven’t increased proportionally?” I’m a serving soldier based in Germany and happily married, and the extra £147 I’m supposed to be paying is generally spent on travelling back to the UK to see my child aswell as birthdays, Read more

CSA kept making mistakes with the amount owed

January 19, 2012

Me and my husband have been fighting with the CSA for about 4 years. Originally we had a letter at the end 2007 saying my husband owed £1500 in arrears. We didn’t understand why so rang them up to find out what was going on. After several phone calls and being promised they’d ring back we heard nothing! Refusing to change the standing order until they could tell us why the money was Read more

CSA waited four years before acting

January 16, 2012

last year my husband recieved a letter from the csa saying they believed there had been a change in circumstances, very shocked he rang them as he didnt have a case with the csa,they wouldnt give info out as he didnt pass security, they said he had a child, well after many letters and lies from the csa we found out 10 years ago a claim was put in against him, he remembers he had a form from them but he denied been the parent, that was the last he heard from the csa as his parents moved and he joined the armed forces.

We got dna tests done this year with help from the mp as the csa wouldnt give info about the child or mother and yes the child is his. the biggest shock was a letter saying there was 10k arrears owing, the csa claim they contacted him in 2006 asking for wage info, but in the data protection files it shows they contacted the army who gave them that info but wouldnt confirm his address as he was in an operational zone.

The csa didnt act upon that info, they waited another 4 years to contact him again after another call from the pwc asking for an update on her case( even she waited 4 years) they are taking 430 per month from his wages, we have appealed against this and things i found in the data files, one saying the case had been closed in 2003,last month we went to the tribunal and the judge picked up on several things too, he wanted to Read more

Where is the money going?

January 4, 2012

The CSA started taking over £500 a month from my ex husband for his son from a previous relationship. This crippled him financially. After we split up, we reamined very good friends and as i worked and knew how skint he was due to the CSA i never asked for a penny for our daughter. In the end he was struggling so much i claimed for our child knowing they would have to halve the payments between the two children. This enabled me to give my exhusband £250 per month to help him out. Madness some may say but i am on a good wage, he is the father of my child and it was money i didnt need. He however couldnt afford to eat! His need was greater!

Anyway, sure enough they started paying me money which i would then give him back. I have never questioned the amount over the last 7 years. However, today, i looked on my online banking and found that they had paid me £18 for the last 3 weeks. This differed from the normal amount which ranged from £32-£35 per week. When i phoned them today, in the presence of my ex husband, the guy told me Read more

CSA deductions for a second child

December 19, 2011

More problems with the Criminal Shyster Association. I’m paying them too much money for my first son as a NRP. My new wife gave birth to a boy last week, and I gave CSA plenty of warning about the imminent birth.

They told me the deduction would be worked out once my new son was on the Child Benefit system, and there usual rule confirmed again today, is of course notify them of changes As Soon As Possible.

When I phoned them today, they said the deduction is only effective from today when I phoned them, not the date of birth! Of course they didn’t tell me this before, and now claim there’s nothing they can do because (usual excuse) it’s “CSA Legislation” – I have to write to my new MP.

It seems I was supposed to call them when my wife was pushing our baby out last week.

DNA test proved I am not the father, CSA refuses to give my money back

December 9, 2011

In 2001 i was contacted by the CSA to inform me that I was the father of a child approx 1 year of age. I knew the mother as we had a brief relationship when I lived near her. The child was born and I worked out the dates and had a fair conclusion that I was the father so I started to pay maintenance. The CSA didnt really give me a chance to have a DNA test.

Fast forward a number of years and after I made contact with the mother of the child she stared saying things that raised doubt in my mind and then my fiancee started to look at pictures of the child and said I should ask for a DNA test. this I did and we completed 1 through Read more

CSA charging me arrears on an income not receiving

December 9, 2011

Up until January 2011 I paid maintenance through csa. However in february I changed employer and my ex made a mutual agreement instead of waiting for csa to re assess me. My ex made me fill in a form and sign it and told me she would contact csa to inform them of it. I never heard anything and went ahead paying her direct through bank each week. In June my ex asked me for more each week but as my income and hours were dropping I refused so she ended the agreement and went back the csa. I never heard anything so in september I contacted csa and made sure they had my details.

They then informed me they were just waiting on my proof of income from feb to sept and then they would assess me. I informed them of the mutual agreement so not to Read more
