CSA threaten us over the phone
I am the wife of a man who is resident parent of 1 child and non resident of another, both with the same mother. We have paid diligently the amounts detailed by the CSA in the payment schedule since the case began. The CSA have now decided (4 years later) that the account is in arrears. My husband has now got to the point of refusing to answer the phone to them any more as they are sometimes ringing daily.
As I am named as a thrid pary rep they have now taken to calling me at work threatening me with baliff action etc. The stress is becoming unbearable for both of us. How can they now decide we have not paid enough and use bully boy tactics to cover their errors and mis calculations. What next – the bank deciding they have mis-calulated our mortgage? Ironically they tell us they cannot persue the mother for contributions for the child we are raising as they have no address for her! I have brought that child up as my own.
How many other second partners are taking responsibility for someone else’s kids. When the CSA are challenged about anything they tell us they do not have to prove anything. I can fully understand people being driven to suicide over this. I now risk losing my home /job/car apprently as I am named as third party rep.
How can this be legal?

the csa must be the most un helpfull agency around
in march 2010 i recieved a enforcement order from the csa stating that i was aparent of a child aged 2 years
i knew nothing of this child until now they tell me that i owe £2670
which has to be paid in 7 days or i will go to court after contacting the csa i was told not to worry they would find out whats gone wrong as i hadnt recieved any letters.
the next letter i recieved from them was a liability order which was issued in court.
me and my partner are due to be married in july 2010 this csa business has left us on the brink of spliting up
my doctor has prescribed me anti depressants
i am now taking legal advice as the csa tell me as im unemployed at the moment they cant deduct from my wages i will most likly end up in prison
i too can see why people are driven to suicide as the csa have given me no help what so ever i have been treat like a criminal form the day all this came to light
It may be a good idea to air this in a public court
and the goverment wonder why so many people work for cash !!!
working for cash is not unlwaful in comparison what the csa / goverment get up to on daily basis
