Am I entitled to the back pay from when I was a child?

15 May 2014 by Aimee 1505

I’m just looking for advice not criticism.

My father wasn’t around for 17 years and has never paid a penny for me. I got in contact with him at 17 and thought all was fine until I had my own son he has done a bunk again.

I am now 22. I know that he owes the CSA around £15000 in arrears for me. Am I now entitled to claim then back being 22?

He does work. And before everyone kicks off I am a married mother of one and do not claim CSA!!

  1. No. You would t be able to claim the money, it would have to be the parent (assuming that was your mother) who was named as the “parent with care” in the case. Your mum will be entitled to these arrears and they don’t get written off (unless your under Scottish law)

  2. Seriously????

    This post most be poor attempt at comedy.

    If not then your attitude towards money, would indicate you are likely to be one of those causing the drain on the state (claiming benefits) rather than going out and earning what you need and having some pride.

  3. You are not able to claim for anything so far as the CSA is concerned, the Parent With Care (PWC) can still chase for any alleged arrears though.

  4. As topper says…you entitled to nothing, your mother (pwc) can try getting the arrears out of the old man and that assumes she opened a case as you never said, you just say he never paid and therefore assume he has arrears. I wander what kind of relationship you think you are going to have with your dad once he finds out his daughter wants money from him for yrs that don’t matter anymore. Maybe you don’t care what he thinks and will try milking him anyway? And what about self respect? You are happy to take money from a dad that’s had nothing to do with his daughter all these yrs. I suspect you just want to get back at him? Unusual, this is normally what the pwc does., either way if this is so ? You are the nasty one.

  5. GONK … How is she a nasty trying to claim back money that he should of paid in the first place !!!!!!!

  6. Aimee, do you know if the £15,000 arrears are correct and not put on an interim maintenance assessment which can be converted at anytime.

    Only the pwc can claim these arrears, but I must admit if a child becomes of age should be paid directly to them…also maintenance shouldn’t be discussed with children because like in your situation causes conflict, I have 2 children and get zilch for them but I do not vilify their dad in anyway, not my place even if he hasn’t bothered with them in nearly 9 years…still their dad.

    If your dad hasn’t provided and keeps doing a bunk then as hard as it is, you’re best off without him and the hassle it brings. Enjoy your family and look toward the future.

    How dare people judge her??? Get over it mate, people judge people, it’s life deal with it. People judge me…I deal with it. Maybe there would be no judging at all if people posting on here were clear And precise. The author does not mention anywhere in her posting about not being on benefits or working for that matter. People automatically judge her because of the nature of her enquiry. Wrong? Perhaps but nevertheless if people don’t like some of the replies, good,bad,positive,negative…whatever..then don’t air your dirty washing on a open forum. People say what they like as long as its not a personel insult to the individual.
    I have to say, some of the remarks on here are very wrong and insulting to individuals and have no place here.
    Anyway….every ones situation is different. My ex had an affair after just 9 months married. She leaves and takes my 3 and half yr old daughter with her. Moves to Germany, denies me of my daughter but still expects her ex to cough up…morally wrong as far as I’m concerned when a woman walks out on her husband in preference for another man to support her. Takes his child with her and dictates when he can see his child. As far as I’m concerned she don’t warrant a single bloody Penny from me, but I should have the right to decide how much and how often I spend on my daughter and only on my daughter. I also pay indirectly towards my ex’s other daughter, who’s father pays NO cm at all…all wrong. People can slate what I say and will have their own opinion and attitude to what I have typed here. I don’t give a shit, because it’s their opinion and certainly would DARE them to say it.
    So get over yourself.

    Nasty, meaning she’s no better than the father. A father that has had nothing to do with her for all these yrs but she is happy to go after him for money..money money money…seems to be the only thing you women think about.
    A daughter wanting compensation for her father not having anything to do with her..shows how low she will stoop…that’s what I mean by nasty.
    Dave sums her nicely because what she’s doing sounds exactly like a PPI claim, she’s been mis sold by her father and now expects compensation. People don’t do this kinda shit to people. 2 wrongs don’t make a right. Her father will have his day, he’s the one that will ultimately lose out. Karma catches up with all that do wrong to others eventually. If my wife had left me and and left her children for me to bring up and never been since for yrs and yrs…I sure as hell would not bother going after her for money because she wouldn’t be worth it, I sooner do it on my own.

    You want payback from your dad because he wasn’t in your life. It’s a way of revenge which he won’t thank you for and you will never receive the money.
    You see your dad as some sort of PPI claim for being mis sold something, so don’t preach to me about wanting advise not critisim. You want money.
    Good luck with trying to get it.
