CSA are essentially stealing maintenance payments

January 20, 2016

After a big admin error in 2013/2014 I was told that I owed CSA 23,000 despite only receiving payments that I was scheduled to receive and that had been taken from my ex husband.  I am parent with care with 4 kids.  Anyway, after a year of upset and hardship, 3 appeals and an independent enquiry I was given £150.00 in compensation from CSA and the slate was wiped clean.  They had broken their own rules /policy and it was proven that it was their admin error.

Now they have done it again!!  They are taking 530 a month direct from my ex husband’s salary and refusing to pay it to me.  They say I owe them money but Ive received no explanation, no letter and I have only received 530 a month since the new schedule started.  It cannot be possible that I owe them money.  They are effectively stealing the money now as they are taking money directly from my ex husband and have not paid me a penny since the beginning of December last year.  How can this be legal ????

    Why not cancel CSA and ask your ex to pay you directly?

    After 12 years and my ex husband trying every trick in the book to avoid paying a penny, you have got to be joking ! Thats why CSA had to go through the deduction from salary route. He would not pay a penny willingly… Depite the fact that he earns 75k a year and has 4 children.
