My ex is self employed and fiddling his CSA payments
November 30, 2009
When I left my ex 11 years ago, he paid me £40 cash each week, he told me to go to the CSA after he stopped paying and said could work the system – being self employed.
After many maintenance assessments forms sent to him, many dif. addresses, over many months, CSA said would make an interim assessment, then he finally sent the form back!
He told them he was paying me £40 but they said he only had to pay £28 (2 children).
He wouldnt pay on time or at all until they chased him. I wrote and saw my MP, Independent Case Examiner, anyone, saying the same thing, my ex. is lying about his earnings! The ICE have completed approx. 5 full reports and have agreed that the CSA has failed. My file has been lost, moved to dif. departments, offices, etc. Ive had numerous special payments due to their incompetence.
Bailiffs have been involved, 3 liability orders, even asking for prison sentence – as he would default on payments all the time and never make them up! The CSA never had the papers in order, didnt turn up for court once, etc.,
Ive had numerous tribunal appeals, my ex. sometimes didnt turn up or did but not with info they have asked him for and it has been ruled in my favour – as they had an accountant – but my ex has NEVER paid the assessment that was re-calculated at £114 pw on one of them and then £116 on another – finally in 2006 – on the basis that my ex had brought a house (£11 k deposit) and that I had a Solicitor to sue them and Watchdog were coming to film about my case. I immediately was telephoned and the CSA confirmed that it was due to the media – that I was offered an advance payment in the region of £15k plus interest. I had no choice but to accept as I needed to pay off the debts I had got over the years! (I have worked majority of the time p/t apart from when made redundant)
My ex even gave fake payslips and upon my investigating the company (that give payslips for money called Business Activities) confirmed my ex had never worked for them! The reason for this was because the CSA had contacted his sub contractor to get money. It was established that my ex was still self employed and always had been!
As you can see my ex has fiddled the tax man (by claiming a lot less money he has earnt with fake accounts that dont tally with his bank statements – which the tribunal picked up on in 2006 as well as another government agency the CSA! In one of the CSA’s proposals/policies it states that this is a criminal act to give false or misleading information – so why hasnt my ex been arrested for fraud / money laundering?
He has another child that the mother – who has never worked and made it clear doesnt want to and wanted another child (already has one by someone else) so not to work – well she was given money that should have gone to me re: special payment ! (dont know if they ever got that back from her) so I have to have my money halved now – but she calls herself a different name from her real name which makes me wonder if she is fraudulent claiming other benefits and not declaring csa money? She has been done for benefit fraud in the past. They were only together a short time.
My ex was giving me £55 pw in arrears now as my children are 19 and 22 but decided yet again, in Dec to only pay half of it. He is a law onto himself as he will pay what he wants and the CSA never chase him or do anything about it! In fact as long as he is paying me something they dont care – they have admitted this! In July 2008 it was established by the Criminal Compliance Unit that he earns approx. £38,500+pa and has 5 bank accounts with approx. £25 k in savings. But he claims to the taxman that he earns approx. £18k pa. He is self employed – Electrician working in London.
So my argument is I want what my children should have got for the past 6 years (as told can only go back that far) from 2008 back to 2002 at least – accountant at work calculated approx. £20k is owed as my ex only ever paid half the money that was calculated in 2006 – adding interest.
I went to the Appeal Tribunal to get this recalculated again – which the CSA says the maintenance assessment should be recalcualted – as they said they wanted prove he was a liar, well they have it now and have done nothing with it! The tribunal throw it out first saying out of time, which of course it would be, I asked for it to be reinstated under special/exceptional circumstances, it was but denied due to lack of evidence – ie. the CSA never gave me the full 6 years only 1 year and only brought some to the Tribunal but had other evidence which hadnt given to me and did not submit to the Judge/Chairman at the Tribunal – it was denied. Due to the Data Protection Act Im not allowed to have it, so how can I build a case when Im not allowed to see or have the info but the CSA do but dont submit it!?
So Im back to square one trying to get this re-assessed on the basis that my ex has lied.
I had a letter today from Chris Barras, Complaints Review Manager, again no further action is going to be taken by the CSA to recover the full amount I should have got.
The CSA have let my ex lie for 11 years and when they have the evidence about this, do nothing with it.
I have gone from full time time to part time now due to lack of work/hours cut at work – Im not entitled to benefits now but as on a low income going back to the Solicitor to sue them (as have to get legal aid).
I wont give up as I know Im right and they and my ex are in the wrong.
I just want to know why he has been allowed to get away with all this even when they know the truth, isnt that discrimination against me and my children – who I thought the CSA were set up to help the children not the self employed liars!

Got something to say?
Tell us your CSA story
Do you want to be heard?
Tell us your story of how the CSA has treated you. We might be able to help, and could publish your tale on the website to make sure everyone knows about the problems you've had.

Who the hell do you think you are? People like you disgust me. You had a child with a man. You and the man split up. You feel you have the right to fleece him for his money for 18+ years. Wrong! You may have CSA law behind you in principle, but you are a morally corrupt person.
Take some responsibility, as ultimately you made the decision to have the child. If he left you for whatever reason (rightly or wrongly), tough luck. YOU made the decision to be with that man and have a child with him. You should have made a better decision with the man you chose to have a child with.
People like you really disturb me, and to think, we wonder why young girls are all up for getting pregnant as soon as possible when the current CSA message is :- “Hey, grab a man, get knocked up, fleece his cash for 18+ years. – You don’t even have to stay with him!”. Bah, all you money grabbing, morally corrupt and down right evil women will get what they deserve in the end. I hope the money you get from this man/the CSA causes you nothing but distress and misery.
I can at least put name etc to my post, obviously you are a very disturbed person who needs help as I would believe violent tendancies towards woman could show here. Get help you need it before some poor woman has to suffer.
You obvously dont know what you are talking about as your post is evil.
Please get help so someone doesnt have to suffer abuse from you like i have just suffered bullying abuse by your email that obvously has been directed personally towards me.
I have printed this off, as obviously your url should be able to be traced in case any evidence could be needed, which I hope to god some poor woman doesnt have to suffer.
A Very Concerned Citizen
Actually I left him because he was abusive if you read my post properly you would have seen that
Obviously you are committing the same crimes as he has and still doing
Hi karen,
The agency have been slated on a number of occassions, as not being fit for purpose.
Ignore the post by ■Anonymous on November 30th, 2009 2:43 pm, obviously this poster has a very limited way of looking at life and not one they are proud of, hence the lack of their name.
Your welcome to join us in the forum at http://www.afairercsaforall.co.uk
Thanks Chall, think I have already gone onto your forum.
I realise that there is woman out there like that and I make no excuses for them but its certainly not me!
My ex has committed crimes, fraud, assault, abuse, had never been a father to my children and I was young and stupid thinking one day he would change, but he didnt and when things got out of hand, how it was also affecting my children, I left, without any support from the people I thought would be there for us.
But now Im free of him and he has proved wot sort of person he is not only by not supporting his children when he is financially very stable, but by having a child by a woman who already has a child, similar to that poster, doesnt want to work so has children by any means and just likes on benefits that I support with my taxes! Once she was ‘done’ for not declaring him liking there while still getting benefits, rent and council tax paid, he left. He doesnt see that child much neither. Also there is another child by him now, the woman eastern european I believe not much older than my daughter 22yrs (he is 47yrs) against he is not with her and sees a woman who seems like I was, vulnerable and easily lead, widower with 4 children, where he gets fed, his clothes washed and ironed – so you see what sort of ‘man’ I use this term loosely, he is.
My children had done very well without him by studying and working, do not smoke, take drugs and my son doesnt drink at all, my daughter moderatly and sensibly. I am proud of them and know that without me, my family and my late boyfriend, this might not be the case.
My concern is that the CSA and other authorities, tax, cis, etc. know that in the building trade, people lie and pay as little tax as possible as long as they keep under the ‘threshold’ they can submit false accounts and everyone is happy, where I have to pay the correct tax each month, whether I like it or not, to support his ex’s and other kids, whilst trying to support myself and my children.
The CSA wanted evidence that my ex lied, well they got it through the credit ref. agency and wot did they do, nothing! I had a tribunal appeal, that I pushed through and due to the Judge being a man who obviously wasnt interested in me explaining that the reason why I dont hold ALL the evidence is due to the data protection act but the csa do, but did not disclose it, I was called a liar and it was thrown out so Ive complained and still trying to get this sorted out by way of another hearing (this was 31 March!) when I called them last week to check why still not heard it turned out that noone had put in the report!
All I want is justice for me and my children and that my ex who is their father support them financially which he hasnt and made the whole system a laughing stock by showing how he can get away with it all! He didnt support them in any other way so I only want what we should have all got support!
karen Bedord.
your scum, i hope he gets away and u suffer. i dont no why this site helps pwc. it should be only nrp help and advice. something wrong her. deadbeatdads is the best website for csa issues for nrp
Shame you cant put your name to your post but I wouldnt expect anything different.
Obviously you have never read my posts properly othewise you would know I am against ‘people’ who do not financially support their children, whether it be mothers/fathers/PWC/NRP.
I suggest anger management might help you.
