Comments on: Pure incompetence – my latest letter to the CSA http://www.csahell.com/pure-incompetence-my-latest-letter-119.html Child Support Agency Advice and Complaints Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:38:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jayne http://www.csahell.com/pure-incompetence-my-latest-letter-119.html/comment-page-1#comment-12285 Jayne Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:39:25 +0000 http://www.csahell.com/?p=119#comment-12285 I totally sympathise the CSA failed miserably for 18 monthes to get my Ex to pay anything despite him having 2 incomes totalling £47,000 and he received a cash lump sum of £70,000 in January 2010. They failed to attach a deduction of earnings to my Ex's Police pension, claiming they didn't have the legislation to so because they already had a deduction of earnings attached to his current salary. It took 8 months of pathetic excuses and non payment for them to attach the deduction to his salary in the first place then because of a "Clerical error" I was due to receive £995 in June last year but only received £277. He then absconded from his job in July to avoid the deduction to earnings without any financial penalty or criminal consequences. I asked again that now he wasn't working that a deduction of earnings be placed against his pension again they failed to do so. I now find out this week that they do have the legislation to do more than one deduction up to a max of 40% on each salary so I could have received over £4800 over the last 18 months which would have made a big difference to the quality of life for me & my 4 children. He was happily paying for the services of prostitutes at £100 a night & nothing to feed his chilren. I have received a verbal apology for what they call me being mis informed about being able to do more than on e deduction of earnings so I have requested an advanced payment for the amount they failed to collect on my behalf but have been refused on the grounds I do not "fit" their criteria because I have not received 6 or more maintenance payments from the CSA !!!!!!!!! The fact that the only reason I haven't received the 6 payments is because they have they are the ones that have failed to collect the payments on my behalf !!!! Have written to my Local MP but really need to know if I can take legal action against the CSA for this money and compensation for the distress caused by their incompetant services. I totally sympathise the CSA failed miserably for 18 monthes to get my Ex to pay anything despite him having 2 incomes totalling £47,000 and he received a cash lump sum of £70,000 in January 2010.

My ex husbands debt is now over 5 grand. My case has gone to criminal investigation...now back to civil..(dont really understand that one!) I wrote to my mp which prompted a stream of so called action. My ex lives 200 hundred yards up the road and yet can never be found...if i have to pay for things like last years council tax...which i got behind on because its soooo much... why oh why is nothing ever done with my csa?

Since 27th October there are moves to remove all outstanding SOS debt from there systems altogether as it costs more to collect than is owed.

The reason they are not bothered about collecting the Child Maintenance for you is because the money is owed to YOU, it would be a different matter if you were on benefits and your ex owed the money to the Secretary Of State then you would see a different side to the CSA, your ex would be in court having liability orders slapped on him left right and centre. They are only bothered about paying off the Billion Pound debt they are in, thats why they concentrate on the cases where money is owed tot he Secretary of State, can you see the pattern? The Employer can be fined £1000 for every month they have missed a payment so the CSAs so called super powers they have are not being used correctly. By all means compalin to your MP, they do have somje clout but do not expect much to happen because the CSA will come back with some excuse that will get them out of the s'it, Watchdog... yeah sounds ok but again this has been done before and look at the difference that made...... there is only one thing that that this corrupt incompetent Agency and its Managers will understand and that is being planned now within our Association however we are not giving anything away until the actual day when we all meet up.
