CSA taking so much to cover arrears that I won’t be able to afford maintenance payments

June 8, 2016

Just been told that the CSA will use a DEO and intend to take 40% of my monthly income over 3 months to clear arrears. That will mean me being unable to pay my rent for 3 months – which will mean me losing my accommodation and therefore my job – which will mean having to apply for state benefits until I find another job, which could ages – which means I cannot pay any more maintenance in the meantime. Where is the sense in that?
