HI
I have been fighting with the CSA for 10 years now for payments for my son. My ex husband has left jobs to dodge his responsibilities, gone undercover so he can't be found etc. The CSA seem to have little power to find him.
He now owes over £9,000 and left his job again 8 mths ago. The CSA have just caught up with him and he says he is unemployed and has no income coming in. I know this is rubbish as he has a mortgage and other children to support but the CSA take his word for it and will not question what he says!
Yet again my son misses out!
This system that the CSA have is unethical and I want to challenge it with the support of parents fighting financially for their children. I need strong backing from everyone who is having trouble from Non Resident Parents that are dodging their responsibilities regarding paying for their children; be them male or female. Unfortunately they learn how to play the system and the system doesn't challenge them; in my experience!
If you have a CSA story please email me telling me your experience with the CSA. Please include your name and address(I may need to contact you) . If I can get enough evidence from people detailing how incompetent the CSA is I will contact my local MP and campaign to change the system. PLEASE BACK THIS CAUSE FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THE CHILDREN WHO ARE MISSING OUT!
If anyone is interested in doing this with me please let me know. The more of us involved in this the better. I know how stressful dealing with the Child Support Agency is. Its 2012 and the agency is still as incompetent as when it started!
If people are committing benefit fraud they face consequences. If people are not financially supporting their children they can walk away - this isn't right!
PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR EXPERIENCES THAT YOU HAVE HAD WITH THE CSA (please include your name and address)
