I split up with my ex wife 8 months ago due to excessive debts that she built up in my name, I am currently paying off these debts with no help from her even though they are matrimonial debts and have paid her a regular maintenance amount for our 2 children. I receieved a letter from the csa in Mid January claiming that I had to pay an additional £70 a month as they had been in contact with my works and asked for my earnings even though they had not contacted me beforehand. I advised that them due to the increase I would not been able to afford to pay the debts and I would have to go bankrupt and becuase I work in a bank I will lose my job as a result. They advised that as the debt was built up on credit card, that legistlation does not cover this debt and that Im not entitled to a variation. Upon speaking to the csa they advised me that I had not paid anything in the last 8 months, even though I could prove it through my bank records. Eventually they agreed that I had been paying her and then thy tell me she has now dropped the claim. I paid her my normal rate yesterday and today I have had a new call saying that she has put the claim in again and that If I dont provide my bank details within 7 days they will put a deduction of earnings in for me. Could someone advice me my best course of action.
