CSA says my bank statements are wrong – how can they be?

December 26, 2012

I am having problems with the child support agency, they reduced my maintance in June with out prior warning they said I had been over paid by £1178, they sent me a breakdown of payments from their system from Dec 2006 to May 2012.

After getting copies of my bank statements I found that I had not received all of the payments, I sent a letter of complaint after approx a month a complaints advisor called to confirm that there had been a mistake and that i did not owe money, that I had not had an over payment at all and that infact it appeard the non resident parent now owed both myself and the secretary of state money.

She assured me I would now start to receive the corect payments again but could not tell me what would happen to the £940 they had taken since June.

Another advisor called me 2 wks ago to say I now owe £1782 plus the non resident £443 she says their system is correct and my bank statements are wrong, she said there is no way I can prove that I didnt recv the payments they say I’ve had and the complaint has now been closed. They are taking money for the next 5 months to pay the £443 back then will start taking the £1782 after that to the sec of state.

I dont know where to go to for help.

    Your bank statements will show a true reflection of funds that have been paid into your account.

    If the response you have received is the final response from the CSA pertaining to a complaint you have made, you can take your complaint to ICE, see the link below.

    It may also be worth copying in your local MP and asking for their assistance.

    if you have been issued a client statement showing payments which do not appear on your bank statements ask the CSA to confirm which account they paid these payments to
