   You need to communicate with that shower in writing, never by phone, as then you have a good record of events.
   The bad news for you is that you did not need to pay for the daughter throughout college. Your obligation basically ended when the child leaves " full time education"- i.e A levels in school. Uni is classed as "further education" where your contributions become discretionary.
   First thing I would do is cancell the Standing Order/Direct Debit and then write to the CSA telling them why. My MP was a waste of space. Just write directly to the Independent Case Examiner in Chester- they are fair, professional and at least the CSA responds to queries set by them, unlike Joe Public.

   (For child maintenance purposes, a child is anyone under 16 or someone between 16 and 19 who:
   is not, nor has ever been, married or in a civil partnership, and
   is in full-time non-advanced education.
   Also, anyone aged 16 or 17 who is not in education, is not working and does not receive employment-related benefits is defined as a child for child maintenance purposes).
