Where do CSA get their payment calculations from?

July 7, 2015

My friend has just started wrk after 4yrs with spinal injury he only picks up £937pm csa have called him up stating that 4 2 children with different mothers that he should pay £361 4 1 and £313 4 the other how the hell do they wrk out such rediculess amounts.

He’s trying hard 2 get his life back on track then he gets this call which has caused him 2 get depressed his rent an ctax is 570pm he also needs 2 drive 4 his job so needs money 4 fuel insurence and tax I wrked it out that 15% of his salary would be £79 per month . So where do they get these figures frm the 1st ex who is demanding by text that he pays 361 per month has 6 children off 4 diferent dads .the second ex has told csa she will sort it out privatly her self so how can they expect a man who only earns 12k a year 2 pay £8008k in child suport . He hasn’t received any paper wrk off csa only calls -there telling him not 2 worry but he’s at the end of his tether what can do thanks.

    Something definitely isn’t right here, csa are not allowed to take more than 40% if there is arrears, 30% on old rules.

    Stop phoning them and demand it now has to be put in writing. Write a letter of complaint outlining the issues he has, ask for a breakdown and send in incomings and outgoings, be worth saying that csa are openly going to make him unemployed which will benefit no-one….they love it when you use that line!

    Take whatever paperwork he has and see an mp asap who will then have the parliamentary team looking into it.

    Don’t let them win and get everything looked into, the problem will not go away so take the bull by the horns and fight for what’s right.
    It won’t be sorted out over night but let them know you mean business.

    Best of luck
