CSA is killing me slowly

February 11, 2015

The CSA are taking £350 out my pay every mouth I have to work 29 out of 31 days a mouth just to pay my rent and council tax.

After CSA / tax and National insurance takes there cut . My rent is 435pcm council tax 110pcm.. every mouth I have to juggle my other bills just to stop debt collector coming for payments that I don’t have.

I just don’t no what I can do feels like I’m in a hole and the CSA are burying me slowly with a teaspoon !! I could do it faster myself!!

    CMS do not take in to account private rent and debt that may have been occurred in a divorce. CMS has pushed me away from my children as I have to move 100 miles and live with my Nan to reset my finances. (I’m lucky I have that option) CMS are sinking good hard working men, I don’t blame the main carer who also have the child benefits, but the system which blanket punishes all non main carers of the children causing them to go through financial hardship.

    Cms is killing hardworking men. Take a man or women who earns 45k per year that’s around 600 pw after deductions. Say the mother of children no long loves said father and has to leave the family home… he has to find a new home rent or mortgage, he has to have a home so he can roof his kids at the weekends yes so that’s on average 1000 a month then the bills council tax electric gas etc etc car to get to work bla bla if you work on uk average on bills etc this actually leaves around £35 per week for this man to feed himself and his kids at the weekend. This is based on 20% cms deduction on a weekly gross wage as cms take deduction at gross figures before tax etc so on the figures above that’s around £450per month. So said man tries to work longer hours to cover this so he can live but then cms come along and increase your payments because you have earned more this then pushes you to keep working overtime because you have no choice but to. Whilst alot of separated mothers go on benifits and get full benifits plus the child payment. My ex said said she actually brings in more than me claims full benifits recieves my payment plus she Mobile cuts hair for around 10 hrs per week she is spare 250-350 per week. How on earth is this ever right this is what’s killing men. Many time I have been on this path thinking my only way out is the un thinkable.
