My ex tells the CSA he has no money to pay them
June 22, 2009
My case closed on my son’s 19th birthday(in full time education).Well it should have closed but my ex had refused to pay the outstanding maintenance.
The CSA closed my case for 4 years 1994 as my ex denied paternity.
They have then repeadildily allowed him to lie about his salary.
He seems to always be redunadant. In fact he was redundant for 2 years twice while buying his first home £250,000 and 2nd £550,000 with a £75,000 mortgage.
He says he earns so little that he get nil assessments.£19,000.
He told them he gave me my house and was allowed £12,500 off his payments, which is what he gave me towards my home.He has now taken me to court to regain that money with interest £53,000.
How can I have to pay him back twice.He was leagally represented in court and I could not afford it.So not only did I have to pay this money again but ended up paying his costs £10,000.
His arrears grew so large but the CSA said if he paid 6 months maintenance they would wipe out the arrears.Hold on, he is let off again, what am I supposed to use to bring my son up.
During this recent court case I asked him to provide his finicial statements which he did.The same salary as he told the CSA. He then paid the csa arrears from march 2006 in march 2008.
CSA case then closed.
Judge orders updates of finicial circumstances. This time a very different story. This is what I submitted to the CSA.
So although my case was officially closed I came into the 13month rule.My God did I have to fight to get that tribunal(contacted James Parnell and everyone in the CSA) and has my ex kicked of.
Now I have had the first tribunal and its been adjoured for the CSA, at the judges directions to find out about my ex’s tax code etc. Can’t understand why the CSA had not done this before.They even say his payslips were false.He refused and got away with being interviewed under caution.For the last 5 years they have not even known where he worked.Never investigated.
The court statements prove he really lied to the CSA but will the tribunal enforce an action.I fear as always the CSA are weak and will just give my ex a slap on the wrist.
If you know of anyone else who has been in this situation, could you let me know how their outcome was.

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.
Earn Money
My ex husband has diverted his income through his partner. I have been going back and forth to tribunals. It has cost me a fortune.
The best advise i can giv eany one is this:
1. Forget trying to ask the csa for help and just bring your children up as best you can.
or
2. hand the kids over to the non paying resident parent and let them have all the ups and downs of raising the children, while you just have them every othe rweekend and can spend quality time with them
The csa just does not work
Dont give up. My ex earns over £60,000. He managed to pursuade CSA he had taken a drop in income to £12,000. He forgot to tell them the rest of his income was paid direct into his pension!!! Almost 4 years and two tribunial hearings later, I have the decision I have been waiting for, the SOB owes me nearly £12,000 in back pay! Even now though, there is a hicup and i’m back to writing letters, calling MP’s and making numerous calls. I will get this sorted.
What I’m trying to get across is, despite wanting to give up many times, the thought of ‘going through it all again’ just think about your kids. This is their money you are fighting for. What ever the reasons you and your ex split up, they are half his responsibilty and he MUST pay his fare share. Keep going honey, DONT GIVE UP!!
Wow…. bitter much!
If it’s taken this long, why don’t you give up. I have seen many people like you in this situation that twist the story to the point of idiocy. I can guarantee 100% there are lies in this text.
I know people are gonna ignore this as your all as bad as each other. But I laugh AT you. Its pathetic, sorry…. its really pathetic. I am the son of someone who has been through this process with a lying cheating ex wanting money… using a shit loophole.
Your son is an adult… you don’t need the money now. Sounds like you need to let go and worry about your future… not your past.
I am furious reading this. Furious. Sad sad sad person.
My ex-wife has diverted her income through her partner. I have been going back and forth to tribunals. It has cost me a fortune.

The CSA just does not work
David Mayers. I feel this man has a real problem.I do not feel his comments are helpful or kind.
This sort of comment leads to upset.Anyone involved in the CSA is already wound up and we do not need people like him airing their huge chip on their shoulder on a public site.Please ask him to seek medical help.
I would be interested in the reasons he got to be so bitter.
Maybe he should share those feelings, rather than critise those that are trying to get justice for their children against appalling odds
I also nearly gave up – it gets so frustrating and upsetting battling for what you believe is right.
My child’s father has never paid any monies at all and only one christmas present since my child was born 3 yrs a go. I started CSA involvent only at the beginning of last year and still nothing. He has given up his well paid job of £60k a year to start his own business with he says only a few thousand a month payout. He is clever and has played the system – when he got the CSA notification that he had to pay he appealed the decision and it has taken over a year as he cancelled one appointment due to work commitments. He has not paid anything and the CSA have been unable to enforce it until the tribunal hearing!!! The CSA tribuanl though decided the decision held and the debt enforcement dept is supposed to be trying to extract the arrears and the monthly payments from him. The Dept enforcement dept have said it could take until Christmas before I get anything for my child as if he refuses to cooperate they will have to take him to court etc. I am just sick of it all, if he is that adamant that he will not pay do I really want his stinking money? On the other hand why should I have all the financial responsibility and he has nothing? Fed up with the system and men who abuse it…
They said if he won’t pay then they will take legal action
