Hello all, I have a question need some advices,
How can the CSA order me to pay arrears when the case is re-opened?
The CSA never told me they were going to increase my payments or by how much. An investigation was opened, 6 months later they tell me I have to pay (X) amount, increased from what I originally paid and on what date!!!
Ok, so far, I don't have a problem with this, the amount has changed and I've been given a new date to pay!!! Now they are telling me that I have arrears from when they reinvestigated my case and I have to pay for every month they spent doing this???? This came completely out of the blue, no-one mentioned this, no-one requested I budget for this and no-one told me I'd be handed a huge debt out of no-where!!! I've got no money as it is, now if I don't pay they are taking me to court?!?!!? It's complete blackmail and they have me over a barrell!! For example I apply for a loan and it takes them 6 months to give me an answer, and they say ok : I have to pay £319 a month, and they are going to back dated for the last 6 months from when the application went in. So I now own them an arreas £1914 so they will just add it onto my repayment. So now I own them £715 a month till the arrears is paid off.
Thats what the CSA is doing to me.
They must be breaking the law in some ways either through the FSA, or some other law, also I have not signed any official document to say they can do that or how much I have to pay ???
Can you guys please help me with answers,
