Corrupt CSA tried to cover up their mistake
I was the NRPP (Non resident parent’s partner). The CSA calculated a Cat Type A assessment for my then partner. The assessment contained my income & personal details.
Although my ex partner was earning enough to pay the assessed amount, the CSA would not change the assesment to a Cat Type B. They actually stated they did not require my details but refused to change it. I also told them the figures they quoted were incorrect!
They advised him to appeal if he was not happy. With no alternative he appealed. Although the assessment officer agreed (in writing) my details were not required as the NRP had sufficient income to pay the assessment the appeals officer would not liase with the assessment officer nor would she cancel the appeal.
As a result my income details (incorrect details) were disclosed to the PWC. Ironically after this occurred the CSA decided to change the assessment to a Cat Type B. The damage had already been done!
I went through the usual complaints route, ICE , obtained my MP’s permission to go to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, had a long battle with the Onbudsman then went through the appeal and complaint route with them and I have to say a cover up was put in place.
Afterall these departments are all connected, as they are all paid by the same source, this being Works and Pensions. Although there are set rules and regulations they must adhere to, if they do make an error of judgement it is covered up along the line, right up to the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman’s office.
Although they did admit that certain aspects were unsatisfactory, I did not even receive an apology for the breach of data which had occurred. To add insult to injury it resulted in my separation from my partner as the PWC demanded she receive not only the CSA payments but whatever she desired. In other words we were open to blackmail and manipulation.
Even worse, if it could be any worse, after we had separated for around 16 months the CSA then contacted me to advise they were placing an order on my house. The certificate of Service issued for the court case for me to give my objections to court was in the wrong name, they had given my surname as my ex partner’s (we were never married).
I informed the CSA of the incorrect name and they assured me they had changed it manually before presenting at court. However this did not happen and of course my objection would not stand. I received confirmation from the court officer that the name had not been changed. So not only did my objection not stand, they placed an order on my house.
My ex partner had already signed a transfer of the title on my house back to me, as he did not actually contribute to the property. The property was purchased from the sale of my previous property and I had added his name to the property with a 1% share. The CSA were of course challenged by my solicitor and they removed the order eventually.
All too little too late as I had planned to sell and relocate to my hometown in Scotland. The recession hit the property market and I was forced to present my property at a lesser price. Not only had they ruined our relationship by the disclosure they then decided it was appropriate to issue a false document to the Courts to obtain an order on my house. In doing so they halted my right to sell my own property and cost me a loss on the property.I decided I could not afford to sell at the reduced price and as a result the CSA, in their wisdom have directed my future.
None of this was in any way any of my business, it was a personal issue between the CSA and my ex partner.However it seems the CSA are a law unto themselves and can pretty much do as they please. They can disclose your personal details without your permission and they can issue false documents to a court of law!
Needless to say the matter will not end there, it’s been a very long and frustrating time but the gloves are off and I will use my contacts in the media to highlight their wrong doing, however long it takes!

The CSA are definitely a law unto themselves!
Good for you, if your contacts in the media can get the abuse and fraud in the public domain, then things might start to change.
Come and join us on CSA RIPOFFS on facebook we might be able to help and if your contacts are willing add a few more victims of the CSA to whatever they publish.
Kind regards,

On CS1 cases opened before 2003 if there was no information received from the NRP then a penalty assessment was imposed.
This was called an intermediate maiantence assessment (IMA).
Category A was a rate set at 1.5 times the maintenance requirement.
Category B was set when the partner’s income was not available and was the liability worked out without the protected income part being used.
Category C was for newly self employed people who did not have income figures available and the maintenance could be up to £30 per week.
Any letters sent out for a Cat A or B assessment could not have had the partner’s income details included because they do not feature in either calculation.
