Best close your case and come to a private arngement then you can be sure of getting your money.
If only i could come to an arrangement but the father refuses to pay so the CSA are my only option
I will be truthful and say I hate parent s who refuse to pay for their kids. most dont refuse to pay they are shut out and greedy mums just want the money. Some refuse to pay until they get to see their child. which doesnt seem unreasonable to me.
Your best bet is genuinely to come to a private agreement for a set amount. my starting point is that as a private individual there is nothing that the CSA can do that you cant.
You can take him to court like the CSA stating that he is in breach of s1 Child Support Act 1991. You have to send him a letter stating that you intend to do this and give him the opportunity to resolve the matter before going to court. Like the CSA once you have a court order if he breaches that order 1 its contempt of court 2 it leads to a liability order. LO means DeO.
that said I will make it clear that it is the childs right to have access to both his her parents. and parents are meant to protect the rights ogf the child. Evefry parent is bound by s1 of the chirdrens Act ” the needs of the child are paramount.” I hate paerent s that abuse their child to get at the other parent more than anything else
My sons father hasn’t been around for a whole year now, when we first broke up he was still in contact for a month or so then it all stopped due to behaviour on his side which gave me the law on mine, private arrangement did not work for me as he refused to hand over any amount of money for our son. I trusted the CSA to help me get money for my son and it’s taken them a year to sort it out and when they finally get money from him to pass on to me they only go and pay the wrong person, not only once but twice, this leaves me without any money and a £20 extra charge on top of my phone bill due to numerous phone calls to find out what was going on. I’ve had a few different members of staff tell me different things over the phone, they have messed me about and told lies. I need to be compensated for what they have put me through
You havent specified what the behaviour was or how the law chose to be on your side. Or whether it was continued conduct or a one off.
I recently heard a scenario of a man who upon collecting his child was met by a man threatening with a rake, needless to say the father in question disarmed his assailant. The mother suspended contact due to his behaviour
hence the above questions are relevant to me.
My concern with this scenario is that we have a parent wanting money off the father, Yet the father doesnt see his child. So I refer to my opening paragraph.
. In helping you am I screwing over a dad? Or are you really in need of assistance? I dont know you
I
ok I am going to help you get compensation off the CSA.
Your starting point will be to get a copy of your file. you have to request this in writing and the CSA cannot refuse the request.
read the file 3 times once will not be enough. identify the errors and make a formal complaint mark it a tier 2 complaint. The csa will investigate and c ome to the conclusion that it was at fault and then offer a stupid payment.
refer the a case to the independant Csae examiner and the offer will be a bit more reasonable
good luck
My sons father was arrested for threatening and aggressive behaviour so it’s his own fault and I’ve never heard from him since in regards to him seeing our son. I’ve never said he can’t see him, I offered him a contact centre which he Rufused. He’s walked away from him. And thank you i will do that
