I will go to jail if I don’t pay CSA arrears
November 27, 2009
i have been corresponding to the CSA for over a year, i am self employed and sent them my accounts aug 08 after they had set a figure of earnings for myself at £373.00 per week, they awarded me £48.00 per wk on this figure.
When they got my accounts they changed the weekly figure to £10.00 per week but kept 4 mths at the £373.00 figure earning me arrears of £1106.00.
i have corresponded to everything and not one reply in return in over a year to my worries ovrer this figure, i had court appearances cancelled and finally today i attended 3 magistrates in Bradford, who could do nothing to help me and knew what i had told them was correct, but stated their hands are tied and they have to issue liability orders as the CSA demand require and nothing they can do.
Devasted to be left with a £1106 arrears order which i have 2 years to pay in full or got o jail for 42 days. Work is imppossible to get at the moment and i am struggling to manage.
They dont care, the enforcement woman was un-sympathetic new nothing or did not wnat to she just had to get the order through. I told her i had contacted the assessment people in Belfast as she told me (no reply) nothing unusual the CSA have never replied in over ayear to me over this matter.
She told me ring them in 2 weeks if nothing. She told me in the year i should have used the word Appeal not assessment. The story goe on and on, errors which my sister contacted them and she was told typing error he has paid, no letter which errors changed or an appology.
I am thoroughly drained after so long and severly depressed at this liability order which i dont owe.friends and family are hossified that the courts have no power over this organisation so they can go in with incorrect ammounts and get liability orders for large sums of money and questions are allowed to be asked where they got them.
My sister has written to her Mp and will not rest on this she is disgusted as is everyone else today. Frightening to know the legal judges and courts have no power to question the inaccuraccies that are blatantly put in front of them and nothing they can do. Every dad today were paying dads as were the ones i spoke with in Leeds court in July 09.
I am at my wits end and will be seeking medical assistance as i am mentally drained of trying to get through to an organisation after over a year and they can get an order for money not oweing and the law allows it. I am using my sisters e-mail address as i dont have one and she has okd this.
Thank you
Derek Wigglesworth

Hi Derek,
For commitial to be appropiate, the court has to be satisfied that there has been wilful refusal or culpable neglect on the non residents parents behalf.
Even then, usually instaed of immediate commitial, the court usually fixes a term for inprisonment and pospones it on conditions, usually regular payments.
You will need to establish what has been happening with your case. Have you applied for your Data Protection file and complete account breakdown from the agency ? there is a template letter in the download section at http://www.afairercsaforall.co.uk – your also more than welcome to join us in the forum.
Stay strong.
Hi Derek we have had first hand experience representing fathers in court as we appear to be the only Association that helps fathers in courts as solictors will not get involved, there is a reason why but we won’t go into that atthe moment.
The cannot send you to prison if you have not got legal representation, end of, if they try and enforce a duty solicitor upon you then you refuse, you do not give your consent.
You have to realise the CSA are not an authority, they are a run for profit company that has several unsatisfied CCJs registered against it, therefore they have no authority over you, The courts are also a company again with just over £5000 worth of CCJs registered against it so even they have no jurisdiction over you, just do not enter into their game or act as they like to call it.
One case we did earlier this year we dismissed a magistrate for trying to exceed their jurisdiction, they try to threaten us with contempt of court, so we called the police and had two of the magistrates arrested for impersonating an official, another one in Scotland we did we neutralised the sheriff, it is so easy to bring these muppets down and now we are bringing the CSA down very slowly with two very important lawful documents.
