got a letter from csa yesterday saying my husband owes nearly £900 for our son, now a bit of background we had our son when we where 16 i lived with my parents for 2 years and claimed income support, my husband was supposed to pay about £5 per week, he did for a while but then wrote to the csa saying he would pay me direct, never heard nothing back, and eventually we moved in together. One day a couple of years later, we got a letter to our new address saying he owed money to them, we phoned them and told them we where now a family unit etc and they said they had no change of circumstances and put us through to the fraud unit, my husband was luckily able to think quickly and said to them if you have no change of circumstances then how do you have our new address? also he asked them the telep[hone number they had for us and it was our new number, so with this proving they did infact have our new details they said they would close the case, we recieved letters to this effect aswell which now have been lost having moved a couple of times since.
So back to the present, we got this letter yesterday threatening that if he doesnt pay up immediatly they have the power to freeze our banks, suspend his driving license and even send him to jail. How can this happen after them closing the case? I am very scared of possible outcomes of this, also how did they get our address? the letter yesterdayw as sent to my mums house where we used to live untill we did a mutual exchange but we where never listed on the electoral role at that address. Please could someone advise us, also my husband has just been made redundant, im already depressed and on medication which incidently was put up yesterday coz im just not coping, and now this. My husband spoke to the csa before and the woman said they have no record of any letters closing the case, YEAH RIGHT.

Let me get this right, they want the father of your child to Pay £900 to them, so they can give it to you, when you live together?
This has to rank up there with the best of their errors, and I've heard a few in my time.
Just tell them he paid whatever they say he owes to you direct, and to keep their fascist noses out of your family.

No, they say he owes it to them, but they already closed the case years ago, but now they say they have no record of closing the case
