Persecuted by the CSA for 10 Years
June 25, 2009
I had been a Police Officer (soft target) for 12 years until I was medically retired, due to depression, in September 2008, brought on in no small part by the persecution I have suffered from the CSA for 10 years or so. I blame my ex wife for half this problem because she would not allow me to pay voluntarily and insisted on using the CSA as some kind of legalised harassment tool. When we divorced, she was given 2 of our 4 houses (rented out properties for our old age), one was sold to pay debts and I was given one with very little equity. In 10 years, i have paid her almost £40,000 in child maintenance payments.
Bearing in mind I have had the same job for 12 years, I was re-assessed some 57 times and paid child support direct from my earnings all this before the CSA came up up with an arrears amount of £6,500. They froze my bank account and took me to court to remove the small amount of savings I had in my account but on the final court appearance the judge, who was genuinly appaulled at my treatment, told the CSA representative to go and get her facts straight, you are not having this mans savings! Unfortunately, he didn’t dismiss the arrears amount and I’ve been paying this off for the last 6 years or so.
After my second nervous breakdown, I could take no more and was medically retired from the Police and given a small pension of £100 per month. I told the CSA last September and thought that was the end of them. I scrape by on my pension and small amount of saving.
Two weeks ago I received a letter from the CSA demanding £10,500 arrears! They are taking £200 of my pension and have told me if I don’t pay the £10,500 in one lump, they might put me in prison! They say that my protected level of income is now £395 per month (my mortgage is £450).
I have worked hard to re build my life and was doing ok, I re married recently and i’m supporting my wife and her disabled daughter on my pension and savings but now i don’t know what to do.

Hi steve,
Have you ascertained how the alleged arrears have accumulated and whether they are correct.

Hi, I am sorry man, I am a cop too. Just easy targets!!! Rather going out there and geting the one’s who don’t want to pay they place the ones that who can firmly over a barrell and give a good one in the derrier who can. they have done your career and I am sorry, I am sorry. I am running to stand still myself. Toget their (CSA) figures I think they go for the easy targets and ignore the ones who don’t want to bother!!!
It is really not worth the stress. It WILL come to an end eventually. AND you are not alone!!!
