15 years and nothing from the CSA
My daughter is now 15 years old. From her day of birth I have informed the CSA of her absent father. He refused for years to pay anything through the CSA. His debt has built up and up with me receiving a letter stating he owed £25,000 when she was 7 years old, as you can imagine, i was very pleased. £20,000 got written off! He now – on and off – pays a pitiful amount. The CSA have sent in bailiffs, added ccj’s to him, got numerous liaiblity orders, threatened commital and so the list continues. So far, none of these have worked.
The CSA constantly change round their staff meaning when you call, you have to start at the beginning of your case and explain all through it. Personally, I have NO FAITH in the CSA in ever obtaining money that is rightfully my daughters. They right off debt or deny all knowledge of problems on my case. Numerous complaint letters have been sent from me and they chose whether or not to file it as a complaint – surely if im complaining – !
IT IS A COMPLAINT!
In conclusion, if you would like to spend many years getting stressed, disappointed, angry and upset, then contact the CSA to sort out maintenance. If you would like a stress free life – DONT BOTHER WITH THEM. 15 YEARS i’ve been fighting and i wont stop. My daughter deserves more than that.

Hi, I know how you feel to an extent but please join the facebook groups child support agencies failings and others on there too, as there is free advice, support and you might find it useful, I have been with the CSA for 12 yrs, case now closed – in their eyes – but Im still owed money and wont give up, waiting for appeal again at the moment.
Have you considered trying to come to a private agreement on maintenance with your ex, as you know all too well the CSA are well known for their errors and will have undoubtedly also made errors on your ex’s side too. Maybe if you could come up with a sustainable solution for you both you can erradicate the need for the CSA?
