CSA keeps demanding money from me
CSa keep ringing me up saying I owe them money.
When I was on benefits they use to take more money then what they should of me even tho I have 3 other children that I care for al of a sudden CSa stopped taking money and I heard nothing from them then al of a sudden 8 monthes down the line I get a phone call saying I owe them over £1000 pounds but now I’m not on benefits I’m working part time they want half my wages a month of me witch ant fair as I only earn 700 a month and 400 has to go on rent and council tax.
I also have 3 children and a house to run I don’t think it’s fair them treating me like this they have threatened me with bailiffs to come and take al my stuff I told them I can’t afford what they want as I have other bills and stuff to pay for but they ant happy untill they get a large sum each month I get harassed with letters and phone calls from my ex my ex also threatened to kill my wife and leave our children with out a mum I really need help their is so much I cold put down but I would really appreciate some help thank you

How much did they take when you were on benefit – csa can take £5 per week for your regular maintenance, if you were on JSA Contributions Based and have CSA arrears they can apply to take an extra £1 per week towards the arrears.
Did you tell the CSA when you stopped benefit and started working and give them your employer and income details, did you tell them of any tax credits (working tax credits and child tax credits) you are claiming. Have you made any payments to the CSA since your benefit ended?
If you did not tell them they will have traced your employer and tax credit details and done a re-assessment based on wages info supplied by your employer and tax credit info gathered form the system. The assessment will be effective back to when your benefit claim ended so there will be arrears accrued since then.
Christopher,
How have the arrears accrued?
Did you inform the CSA when you initially claimed benefits?
