Case closed by CSA still taking money via a DEO
My case was closed as of 3rd june2011, however payments have been DEO,d of £380 for 3 months, when I requested the monies returned, I was advised that my ex wife was seeking payment for arrears from 2001 for £1029.
When she had made a claim then canceled on instruction from here solicitor as agreement had been reached with myself for maintenance and any monies deducted should be returned to myself,she has never been in receipt of benefit at any time.Also she is trying to reactivate child benefit payments for my son for the period june to september who applied for University in April and had no intention of returning to non advanced education.
This is all at the advice of the CSA as they see me as a easy target as they have a DEO in place with my employers and will not remove it. I have written the Chief Executive of the CSA and my MP re this and at present they are investigating.

If these theives have continued to take money that they are not entitled to, not only should you make your complaints, but you should also ask for a concillatory payment as compensation and ask for interest on your overpaid money.
I would be wary of the CSA ‘fixing’ your case in their favour to scr-w more money from you, by allowing your ex to reinstate her child benefit claim, where they will then recover that money from you.
Please do us all a favour when you deal with your M.P. and inform him that the CSA is ‘not fit for purpose’ when there are people over-paying, people under-paying and others not paying at all!.
The CSA have no control over child benefit, they cannot “allow” your partner to reinstate her claim & it’s not their fault if she does. Nonsense advice!
You won’t get interest on payments made as the CSA did not take the money for themselves, it goes to the PWC! The CSA don’t benefit from the money NRPs pay, the entire amount (unless it is Secretary of State debt, in which case it goes to the SoS funnily enough) goes to the PWC so if she’s not entitled to child benefit and has received money from you fraudulently, it’s up to you to report it to Child Benefit, not the CSA.
Stuart, if you have evidence and legal support to show you made payments to the PWC during the relevant periods, give it to the CSA and they can adjust the arrears. If you didn’t pay her anything during the times the arrears relate to and she wants them collected, the CSA are simply doing their job by pursuing them.
My daughter who is nearly 18 has left her home with her mum and is at college.
I went to the CSA myself to ask them if i could pay through them as my ex kept phoning after payments made each month with excuses for more money. My daughter has informed and i have had this verified and got copies of her mother agreeing in writing that she does not live with her anymore. Now i have an agreement with the CSA i would much rather give my daughter the money to help with her living and college costs so i assume i don’t have to pay them anymore.
Is this correct.
