CSA have made me homeless
Back in 2004 my ex tried to claim csa off me but when we whent to court it was agreed by csa that as i have my son every weekend from friday to monday and i have him every school holidays they said that i dont have to pay anything cos i have him majority of the time ..
But now csa take money out of my wages and tell me that i owe over £3000 . and also that now they take money out of my wages thay say i can live on £400 a month. one wonders how they work that out as my rent is £500 +food and others bills so they have made me homeless but i now they do not care about men as long as they are getting there money.
But i have asked them how do they work it out as it was csa that told me i owe nothing, although my situation hasnt changed from 2004 so i think i better take them to court to sort it out.

As you have your child for the majority of the time you are the main carer and therefore entitled to claim child benefit.
If you receive child benefit you are entitled to claim child maintenance either privately or through the CSA.
The CSA will consider the person in receipt of child benefit to be the main carer.
The CSA are only entitled to take up to 40% of your net income. If they are taking more write and complain recorded delivery, at the same time you can ask them to reduce the arrears repayments by supplying a list of outgoings set against your income.
You should have received a letter explaining how the maintenance figure was worked out showing the income used and shared care allowed. If you did not receive it ask for a copy to be reissued to you.
