CSA was not interested in my plight
I have just lost my house to the CSA, areas of 13k. Dont feel sad for me since this was on the cards as I absorbed so much debt from the divorce, and I also had my fantastic son with me, he has ADHD so a bit of a handfull at times, but now at 21 he is one of two best friends. Nevertheless in these forums I constantly read how people talk to the CSA on the phone, words of warnign ‘dont’ write to them on all ocasions never fall for thier ploy of ‘give us a call’ since they record nothing and remember nothing.
As is evident in the majority of case the CSA are a law to themselve, run by incompetance and contempt, with some very creative lawyers backing them up. In my case; I live in Dubai and have done for five years. I played the game I gave them my whereabouts from the outset since I want to resolve matters.
I gave them my adress and two e-mails for contact. This information was also given to then on eight seperate ocasions, and twice by my solicitor, even so they still kept sending (alledgedly) correspondance and court demands to my old adress!and on a number of ocasions securing orders without my knowledge. One would think that upon proving that such a practice is contrary to Civil Procedure Rules, DJ’s would clamp down on such action. However they [DJ’s] dont care and the reason is; the CSA are an income for the courts! and one supports the other. It is also evident that the court do not like you defending yourself as is your right and as i did on two out of many occasions.
I have just filed a complaint against a DDJ for being biased toward the CSA (she should have been an actor!) and ignoring me. In her [DDJ’s]words ‘dont waste my time or yours on past events because I am not listening’ My past events were critical to where i was in the court system, since the failur of the CSA to folow procedure and abusing court rules brought us to a repossesion hearing.
It is also evident that in my case I made three offers (through a solicitor) to make payments (even though it was evident that they had over chraged me by 6k) and the CSA refused them all even in court! My agrument being that; in common law you can’t take advantage of a problem you have created, therefore by the CSA failing to accept my money, such gave then the advantage to now take my property. I appraoched my solicitor again to see what can be done, his answer to the problem,was, ‘pay it in full and argue after’ Now he would say that wouldn’t he becuase such action would be in his and the courts interest!
As I stated earlier; I live in Dubai, my 79year old mother (disabled) lives in my bungalow, We ask the court for a little latitude for us to move her to her new home (four weeks extension on the repo, for her alterations to accomdate her disability and considering its xmas) the judge refused, stating ’28days is long enough to find another property’ such contempt demonstrates that these judges have no idea what is going on in the real world, or what the rental maket is doing, especialy for a disabled lady. it apears that a judges job is the only job that is carried our by someone who does not have to have past experience of for his vocation, thus all situations of life. Therefore how can this person be qualified to make any.
Example being would you expect some to tell you how to drive, if that person cant drive themselves. Such draconian actions come from draconian thinking, this is 2012 and it is about time a lot of these people in authority joined us.
Such a magnatude of evidence as is on these pages would put a criminal away for life, since it expressly demonstrates problems and shortfalls exist in the CSA, but for the avoidenc of doubt the powers that be do not care,and never will. The proof and irony of the CSA in my case is; they are suposed to be the face of ‘care’, yet they will put a 79 year old disabled lady through distress!
It is evident; that with all the problems of the CSA, past and present no one cares and no one is listening, if someone was by now severe changes would have been made and heads would have roled for the contempt and incompetance.
My house will be empty, and the court order states it can only be sold for a certain amount which is 15k less than is was on the market for the past two years. Empty houses do not sell for maket value (especialy in this financial downturn) thus the CSA will be waitng for a long time for its money, this demonstrate that inteligence and common sense does not come as a package, have the CSA won. I will let you think about that!

Quick question, if your living in Dubai why are you still having to interact with the CSA I thought that as soon as you left the UK you were free of them.
Dont be fooled by this. I had a property in the UK in which my mother and son lived. My argument with the CSA was they over charged me by 6k part from when I was unemplyed (they used a calc supplkied by ex even though I disproved the same) and they conti nued to charge whilst I was in the UAE. I wanted to resolve this and didnt want to get branded as ‘runawy dad’ so I kept in touch under the ‘any chnage of circumstances caveat’ hoping to resolve this issue. It was a total wast of time. The CSA lawyers are commercial crooks, creative and play the court system well, fully aware of what they are doing and bring shame on the legal industry. You will not win over them I know, I lost my house, and I have an advance law degree (but dont practice) They [CSA] failed to notify me at the correct address (contrary of CPR) knowing full well the courts do not offer any sympath to such action, they change court locations to cause confussion and distrupt any papper trail through the courts. Once you are branded a ‘bad dad’ you will not get rid of that ‘tag’ the CSA staff are blinkerd. I even proved my ex was found guilty of assult on another, and obtaining money by pecunary advantage (fraud) therefore her evidence should have been in doubt. I followed the law kept in contact to resolve issues and the CSA deviated from fact, twisted legal protocal, and failed in their duty of care.
Hi I am receiving demands for arrears for the csa dating back over 10 years. My son is now 26 with a child of his own. I did pay into the csa during the short time he lived with his father the arrears were as a result of their own incompetence. I am not taking this lying down! I have been in touch with the press, shadow minister, the actual minister who is useless to be honest and contacted a human rights lawyer. People should get together. People who are on their records are easy targets. I was not an absent parent who did not pay along with many others. Any other organisation demanding payments with no contact after so many years, would not be allowed to do this. Are they above the law. Instead of wasting time and money hounding people who work, pay taxes, and have paid, spend money on pursuing people who do everything they can to avoid paying for their children. Please don’t just give in. Fight it!
Thays a good point Smithy. I was wondering if thats still the case if a person moves abroad but has a UK pension ?
With regards to the pension, this may be at risk if they find out about it! As i previously noted ‘inteligence and common sense do not come as a package’. In my case I broke my back 15 years ago and as such get a regular payment from the DWP for such. The CSA never went after the payment, even though offered to them, such would have reduced their cost greatly and secured (technicaly) an income source of mine without the need for court process. This obvoiusly indicates their is a relationship between them [CSA] and the courts/legals, no one would commercially take the long way around to get money unless it had a benifit to someone!
