   the csa recently contacted me asking for child maintainace which i agree i might have to pay them. even though i have our daughter an my ex husband has our son! i work an his been long term unemployed. but the are insisting i pay 40% off my wages to them stuff what i can afford is the the attidude i got from them! when i phoned an asked to pay off the arrears at the amount i could afford.even offered to set the direct debit up there an then they would not agree!. so should i just quit work? as it seems thats the only way i can get out off paying the arrears off at such a high level!

   They will try to deduct it direct from your pay using a deduction from earnings order (DEO) so it might be best to quit your job. Many people have had to do that as they cannot afford to work. I'm in the same boat, paying 40% of my wages, which I can't afford.

   I've sent in countless letters and just had the same ignorant responses. I will have to quit in the next few weeks if I don't get a resolution to my last letter.

   Good luck with your case.

   My husband currently pays 50% of his wages to the CSA, we are now having to get debt advise because the amount is going up another £150 this month ( I have not dared tell him yet) We pay £750 per month for 1 child, who is a child model, whose mother earns more than my husband and thats half my husbands wages per month. Our son is dressed in 2nd hand clothes & dosen't get birthday or christmas presents from us because we cannot afford it, and I have approx £50 - £100 ( if i can wangle it) a month for food & nappies & guess what CSA told me, they didn;t care about my child he had to pay for the one on their books! Top it all my husband is out fighting for this country in Afghanastan - whats the point! Untill they get rid off the old system totally honest people are going to get screwed even more!

   I was in a similar position a few years ago. My wages dropped from between £450 - £550 a week to just over £200. I just about begged them to half the payments from £60 a week to £30. They refused so I told them I would lose my car and wouldn't be able to get to work. To this they responded with 'Your car is not the problem of the CSA'. I said that if I didn't have a car I wouldn't be able to get to work and thus couldn't pay maintainance. The response was 'Thats not our problem' of which to me sums up the CSA as a bunch of incompetent idiots. I then said that I would have to finish work and go on benefits. To this they said that if I did that they would contact the DWP and inform them that because of CSA involvement I put myself on benefits and I would receive no money! In the end the stress and depression got to much and I had to sign off sick. That was nearly 2 years ago and I am still being hounded by them!

   I have found this site NOT to have an active interest in the fight against the CSA.

   I am currently serving a 6 month tour of the falklands and have recently, 5th march 09, been called into an interveiw with my squadron leader(married mother). The interveiw concerned a letter received from the CSA via the service and veterans agency in which they wanted to take approx £450 per month from my wage. the letter did not say what this was for, my squadron leader who henceforth shall be referred to as Jabba expected me to sign and just say yes, when I refused and said I would be disputing everything she looked at me as if I had asked if it would be ok for gary glitter to stand in for babysitting duties for me! I am in the territorial army and so normally in civilian life I am a self employed electrician so it would be easier at home for me to evade the csa if I chose to do so, the military are an easy target for the csa and receive more injuries mentally than they get in any conflict.I have had dealings with the csa previously and would say to anyone caught up in this war-DO NOT GIVE UP- I know it can be draining but do not let the bastards get you down and if you know or meet anyone who works for the csa then please spit in their face and just remind them of the misery they bring to the lives of people who are just trying to live their lives

   have they diclosed any information about your case to the armed forces. if so then they have breached the data protection act. armed forces or not they can not discuss any of the case with them, what have they told them about it or is it a (deo)that they are asking for.

   the first thing to do is ask for an independant (hearing)tribunal you must have grounds for appeal. ar you on CSA1 30% or CS2 15% it will make a differance to the amount. the appeal must be a hearing they fucking hate it but it is your right to do that. also recorded delivery on letters no more phone calls. you must act soon for the appesal it could take another 12months to deal with.

   your appeal will be dependant on cs1 as cs2 is 15% of earnings only.
   i do believe that if you are in the TA they can not take that money but i will look in to it for you. keep you posted

   let me know

   I to have been told that i have to pay arrears at £453 per month. I'm seeing a solicitor soon to discuss this as i've tried to tell the csa that i should have no arrears as i payed for the up keep of my daughter until my maintenance started.

   My case is closed now and i was paying £205 per month. Now i have to pay £435 per month!!!!!

   It makes you wonder what colour the sky is in the world they live in?

   I feel sorry for you all, good luck
