CSA cost me my home

I am currently having 40% of my eranings being taken by the CSA.

I had an agreement with my exhusband when we split, and due to the fact I was in a wellpaid job and he would not have been able to pay me maintenace along with the agreement he had with his ex wife, he stayed with the childern and i worked and supported them. No money changed hands between us as was the agreement so that the social benefit he had didnt get disrupted. Obviously due to the fact he claimed benefit we were contacted, stating on the phone and in writing our agreement the case wasnt continued. April 09, after i had been employed by a government body I was send a letter claiming i had arrears of over 6000.00 I contacted them and they said the case was never closed.

I tried to agree a payment after they had spoken to my ex husband and made a deduction of half of what i owed, making it clear to them i thought this was wrong i had to pay back the secretary of state this money. It has finally ended up i don’t have a leg to stand on and i need to try and see if they are prepareds to agree me paying a lesser amount as they can claim arrears back over 2 years while i still fight my case.

I intend to take this matter to anyone who will listen to me, with the intention f getting back the money they have dedcuted, this has cost me my home and very clearly so far the only way i can see out of this is to leave my job.

So if they havent contacted you – be warned they will
