new law change and people claimin benefits now have to pay £5, well its the point here so i try that option. 6mths later all agreed to Read more

CSA can never seem to get it right

March 26, 2010

I started paying monies to the csa back in 03. My ex got them involved even though I was already paying her maintenance money. At that time I thought it was a good and fair system, the case worker informed me that she was only bothered with how many children I had and how much money I earned SIMPLES!!! You would think.

First they messed up my first evaluation, they had over estimated the monies on the basis of information supplied by my Ex. then the computer system would not allow them to lower the money. My file got lost but the fancy computer system kept on spewing out arrears letters and informing case workers that I was due my monthly intimidating phone call. Since then it hasn’t got much better.

some payment went missing and I got blamed, until I produced bank statements, I sent in checks and it took three months for the csa to process them in that time my Ex was calling the csa complaining, the csa were calling me and telling me that I had failed to pay and was in arrears, I was calling my bank to find out if the check had been cashed (they had and guess by whom) I then called the csa to tell them they Read more

Ex wife changed my child’s surname without my consent

March 25, 2010

Hi there,

I’ve been paying CSA fairly spiradically over the past few years as I’ve changed jobs a lot, been self employed, etc.

Now I have a full term permanent job and the CSA have miraculously come up with arrears of £6k out of nowhere. I only found this out last week, have seen no evidence to support this and a DEO order has been served for £900pcm. I’m pretty sure what they’ve done is take my new salary (which is a lot more than I have earned previously) and assumed that my Read more

DEO taken from my wages without warning

March 25, 2010

The first i heard of the csa taking any money from me was when i got my wage slip.

Oh my god did i get a shock – £630 and been taken out for that month. I went to wages department and they informed me that they had an order to take £697 a month out my wages, i was in shock. I had no idea of any of this till then i was handed a letter from wages department from csa instructing them that they had to take £697 a month ot my wages.

Now this is what has got to me. My EX KNOWINGLY gave a previous address in which i had been left over 2 years which she knew as i have had one of my lads over and the other 2 kids came. My EX gave previous address knowing that i couldnt fight my own corner. I’ve no problem with paying for my kids but for her to do this is evil, especially when i was Read more

CSA place a charging order on my house

March 24, 2010

I have just received a letter from the csa to say they want a charging order on the house (I am joint owner,and we are not married) Michael who is the one they want 35 thousand from is deeply in debt yet was managing to pay back through the courts. The csa has not even mailed him to say, He only found out through me.

They won’t accept any offers he gives them they just say its 70 pound’s a week to start with for his son (who is 18 this month) and then of course more money a week for the arrears. He isn’t trying to not pay but in no way does he have that amount of money after paying court debts. The charging order they are trying to get is on the Read more

PWC is getting money from all sides, including children!

March 24, 2010

I have been paying maintenance for my two sons since 2001 through a voluntary arrangement with my ex-wife. She has just applied to the CSA to get more money after I refused to pay it to her. My kids (17 and 12) are with me for 182 nights a year. The CSA rules only account for when they SLEEP at my house, yet the real expense for me is the feeding and transporting I do in that time that their mother clearly does not!

She works part-time as a lifestyle choice, so I have said that if she feels the kids need more money, then she should earn it, as I work full-time and do not have the capacity to earn more.

She does!

I have explained to the CSA that the only way I can afford to pay the extra £100 per month they have calculated, is to stop Read more

CSA payments have crippled me

March 23, 2010

I was divorced just as the csa came into force and the payments i had to make crippled me.

I had started a new realationship and this killed it. I then remarried and had two children,but this marriage didnt last mainly because of the money i had to pay the csa.So now i had two cases,and for awhile i didnt pay due to unemployment and other issues,last year i had a letter saying i owed £15000, and if i didnt pay i would have a libility order against me. I had one paying in slip with the letter as if i could make one payment,its a joke.

I had the order served against me and was paying over £500 a month, then i was made redundant, i had a phone call saying the bailiffs were Read more

CSA keeps changing my address on their system

March 23, 2010

I do not have a good history with this government agency.

The children went without any support from the fathers for a period of two and half years. In November 2007 I had to declare personal bankruptcy due to the hardship caused by the loss of data and manual retrieval of this.

Here we are again in 2010, faced with a situation where I received two payments in November, none in December or January, one on Feb 2nd. I filled in a missing payments form 26.01.10 still waiting…. requested further missing payments forms for payments they sent out on 9th, 11th Feb….still waiting…rang again today. No one cares.

I am a single disabled parent with cerebral palsy who relies heavily on this money to provide Read more

Nowhere to turn except to pay the CSA

March 22, 2010

13 years
Sporadic payments
Debt on the account of £40,410.20

My children will be 66 & 68 years old by the time their child maintenance is fully paid!

I had a meeting booked with Helen Goodman on Wednesday this week, her ministerial off cancelled the meeting at 6.00pm the night before. I believe we should ALL be requesting meetings via our MP for a meeting with Helen Goodman the minister for the CSA before the general election, and should you want to quote my name and my MP’s name (James Clappison) then please do.

The New TV advert and leaflet drop to every home CM Options – Even they said they can’t help

Just to get this into perspective I have a debt of £40,410.20 (Approximately it will be more now!) plus future debt once my children leave full time education at 19 years old of another £24,891.76 totaling £65,302.00, this is being cleared through enforcement via two court orders at £100p/m plus another £100 via the bailiff but this is sporadically and unreliable. This will take 50¼ years to clear, my children will Read more

CSA want money back they paid to me

March 22, 2010

I need some CSA advice. My Ex used to pay maintenience for my daughter. To cut a long story short he paid it for 2 years when he shouldn’t have been CSA claims it was my fault for no re-applying for some forms however I was not aware I needed to.

About 3 years ago they wrote to me and said I owed them £5k, I spoke to my ex and he said that as long as the money was used for my daughters upbringing while she was at college then he was happy to forget about the debt. He said he would call the CSA and tell them this.

I’ve now had a call today to say that he asked for the money so the CSA paid him this year and I now owe the CSA the £5k. I explained that me and my ex had come to an agreement to wipe the debt off, but they say they have no notes ot this, and I also completely forgot at the time to get somehting in writing from him or the CSA to say he was happy to wipe the debt off.

They are now demanding the money back. I have no way of getting the £5k and even if they Read more
