How can I reduce my CSA payments?

February 25, 2010

I made voluntary (BACS) payments to the mother of my daughter when she moved to a new house. This was to make the new house comfortable for my daughter. The payments were made as a loan.

I am currently suffering from financial hardships and have asked for the repayment of the loan but the mother is refusing. Can I recover this by declaring these voluntary payments to the CSA?

    Hi Robbie,

    The agency can consider voluntary payments made in the period between the effective date and the calculation date. They will not consider any payments prior to their involvement.

    my ex wife has just set the CSA on to me we had a private arrangement that I had struggled with but I had set up a standing order to make regular payments. However, she gave me the wrong bank details and the money didn’t get into the account. the CSA are now going to tahe £500 a month plus a further £300 a month against alleged arrears.
    I have a debt management plan and they have advised me that the arrears can be added to this is thi correct?
    the CSA are faceless monsters who will not take into account your personal circumstances and don’t listen all payments are calculted against Gross Income surely this can’t be fair?
