CSA blunder almost splits up a family

April 13, 2008

The CSA are known for their blunders, but this one is exceptional even for them. They sent a letter to Andrew Ward claiming he owed money for a three year old child he had fathered, which resulted in his wife thinking he had cheated on her. She ordered him to pack his bags and leave the house, even though he had no idea what was going on.

When he realised he had been accused of sleeping with another woman and fathering a child three years prior, he knew it was a terrible error on behalf of the child support agency, as he had had a vasectomy eight years previously.

As it turned out they’d made an error with the national insurance numbers, and thus caused his wife to believe he had cheated on her.

Unbelievable.

    I have constantly fought with the CSA for 17 years, my case is always with Criminal Compliance who say they will take him to court, they never do, the only way to get monies owed is phoned constantly every month it is due, albeit I get it late but I still get it eventually, my MP has been involved for the last 2 years as soon as they get a call from them, they jump as high as you want them to !!!
