CSA – the true meaing is ‘Causes Serious Aggrovation’
I have paid all mandatory amounts, CSA confirm all payments have been made. The Ex wife also confirms to CSA all money has been recieved to her bank account.
Still they want more, they say there is an outstanding ammount of over £1000 wanted in a lump sum.
CSA have been requested to supply a full breakdown of where the alledged arrears arise – low and behold – THEY CANT. This has been requested for over a year but they still fail to supply the information.
They are now demanding payment or they will take legal action to get this from wages.
To make matters worse the CSA are a Government QUANGO, they only base the information recieved from other Government Departments (right or wrong).
In Other words you (as absent parent) have to pay over and over again and the CSA do not guarantee any refund or repayment of overpaid money.
To make matters worse they are aware of an investigation of fraud against the Ex Wife for benefit fraud but still wish the payment to be made.
It says a lot “Government Departments allow fraud legally” and the tax payer cannot do anything about this.
Nice to know MPs etc and expense scandles are legal.
Roll on retirement out of this country.

However, your M.P. may be able to help you, if you haven’t visited them all ready, make an appointment.
I told my M.P. my thoughts on this utterly disgraceful shambles, and he wouldn’t see me again. Ha! As if I care! So, I sent him a copy of his expenses claims for crisps and sandwiches, and his mortgage claim.
The ‘untouchable’ civil servants have just cost us the taxpayer £80 million on the rail franchise farce, so no doubt they will want to recoup that, by hounding parents for more money, with invented arrears!
Looking forward to a successful class action in the near future!

The point of expenses for MP’s according to the rule book is to help them do their job of serving us, the public, better, not sure how a packet of crisps does that. The civil servants will no doubt be suspended on full pay and take early retirement on full pension. These people, MP’s and civil servants are “all in it together”, I think of them as people I cannot trust and do not respect. The csa was dreamed up by the MP’s and civil servants to ‘clawback’ money for the government. (perhaps to pay the expenses?) Its a disgusting organisation and has done more economic harm to this country than anything I can think of. Sack them all.
PS John, I do have empathy for your comments and viewpoint but I dont think the UK has a ‘class action’ system.
Thanks for your comments on the above.
Have written to all leaders of Parties (Con, Lab and Lib Dem) and other interested MPs and Lords.
To date only 2 responses from 9 who will respond further – awaited as only had initial response about 2 weeks and will let you know.
Regarding comment on the wasted rail franchise bids of £40million which the taxpayer has already funded to the Department of Transport – my opinion is let them have £40million deducted from their annual budget (or whatever it costs) and train companies to sue the department with incompetent civil servants (from their own pockets) who will then know what the CSA get up to (Demand Payment Demand Payment ……..) no excuses and no explanation given – Just make them pay.
The tax payer would be in a win – win situation.
Will it happen – dont hold your breath. MP need the money for expenses.
Begs the question why do wealthy people with large homes and ludicrist earnings want to have a job that pays £65,000-00 (oops —- forgot the unlimited expenses).
What I think that I am trying to say is that when the truth is out, about the debacle/shambles of this agency, and how they have shafted decent, honest people, and attempted to criminalise them as parents……when they are exposed for this, they won’t get any empathy from joe public!
I believe that it is a matter of time. It won’t be months, it may be years. When a successful challenge is made, regrding the CSA flouting the law, and they are exposed for it, then that may arise for a class action to be taken, via lawyers, who will be asking victims to come forward.
I agree with your comments, and they are all in it together. I have experienced coercion and collusion, between politicians and the CSA. It is a closed shop of compliancy.
Having been on both sides of the CSA as an nrp and pwc, and experienced their failures to both the nrp and pwc, I know that the system is flawed. It is only a matter of time before, the government have a rethink, when they are challenged in the courts. Hence this may open the floodgates for victims to seek retribution via the courts and are compensated appropriately.
First and foremost, what I do object to is being criminalised in the very eyes of my own children. The CSA and Politicians are trying to make some parents to be ogres, for daring to challenge their failures. The law is their for all to use…..not just these bunch of muppets!
