My life is back on track after CSA hell
August 21, 2010
As a joint, voluntary agreement I paid the mortgage on our former home approx £240/month after moving into rented (my ex-wife was a knife wielding psycho) along with £200/month to support our son. After 6 months my ex went to the CSA who took £400/month off me + the £240/month mortgage payment refusing to take the mortgage into account. I paid up on time every month till my son was 18. During the intervening period my ex enjoyed holidays in Spain whilst claiming benefits.
Now, thankfully it’s over and I have my life back on track and have a lovely girlfriend. The CSA are not interested in listening to anyone’s difficult circumstances. All they’re interested in is their ‘target’. I got my life back together but many dads don’t. Despite all the cash I had to part with my ex now has mortgage arrears and CCJs. Little comfort given the hell I went through.
Shut the CSA down and start again for God’s sake.

Although a PWC it upsets me to hear about NRPs who do care for their children and do the utmost for them and yet the PWC “PLAYS the system” and the CSA let them. In your case go back to the CSA and ask for a variation ie”prior debt” for the mortgage payments you made. They can be back dated to day1 I no cos my x doesnt want to pay for his children period and I”ve just been billed £7k by the csa for O/payments due to claim for mortgage dating back to 2003.So if he can do it so can you. I would not have minded being billed but I had to pay vthe whole mortgage off to the tune of £178k and now I”m a PWC ,2 children, not on benefits,and the only debts is to the CSA
