Having recived a letter from the csa stating my ex has made a claim i got in contact straight away, i gave them all my work details income ect and the following few days i recived a call saying i must pay £56 a week back dated from the 28th of january, funny because in january i was reciving statutary sick pay followng an operation and was off work for 4 weeks, and have now returned to work on part time hours, i was told over and over again it would be looked at, so a few days later i recive a letter saying i must pay £56 a week from 28th january, i called csa guess what no record of my conversation about being sick and now working part time hours even though it was the same person i spoke to before !!!! i decided to contact my ex amd made an offer of a private aggrement to which she was happy with and wouldnt affect her benefits, so she called csa and the caseworker told her she will be prosecuted for fraud if we did a private agreement even though it is on the £20 a week threshold, i then called them myself and the matinance options line they both said no reason why we cant do a private agreement, now my ex is to scared to make an agreement for fear of being reported so it will now cost me so much money i cannot pay bills and the caseworker now told her she will get the full £56 a week and wont affect her benefits even though the caseworker said she will have 36 a week deducted the day before, it seems this caseworker is doing everything he can to stop an agreement privetly, we will now both be worse off because he has put the fear of god in her.
