I made overpayments for a year and CSA won’t refund me!

November 15, 2017

I’ve recently contacted the csa explaining that my son was working and no longer in full time education and I was still paying csa after two weeks they contacted me and said that he was not eligible for maintenance from August 2016 but I’d paid up to August 2017 when I asked for a refund for the over payment they have refused saying that the decision was made by the director because the third party has been paid. Any help please?

    Simple answer Terry is to challenge this. You will not get any resolution unless you take the CMS/CSA to Tribunal. I can help with this: [email protected]

    Have you been refunded?
    I had the same thing even though I informed them that the child was no longer at school and was employed.
    I was told that I would be getting a refund but when the I was put through to the finance team I was told that I made over payments out of goodwill. Joke.

    This happened to me also, they said they wouldd not refund the overpayments. I got them to put that in writing, I then applied a claim to the County Court againts the Carla Prendergast and my ex wife for the return of my money. The court said I had to pay a £100 to have Carla Prendergast served at her place of employment, the CSA Birkenhead, to which I gladly paid.
    Within a week of Carla being served the Agency were hot on the phone telling me they would be refunding my money
