Ex’s new partner won’t let him support his child

January 10, 2017

I have been on and off with my son’s father before my son was born. He lives with his new girlfriend she found out we were still together during their relatioship he use to come and see his some behind her back but she found out started calling police for me and also told him if he looks after his son she would kick him out of her house. Child Maintenance can’t seem to find him in the system but I know for a fact he works.

Ex lied to get money out of me

January 9, 2017

She lied about the pill and got pregnant. She thought abortion was myrder so is keeping it. She split and tefused to get back with me.

Basically I was a sperm donor so that she can stay out of work for longer, get more money for an extra child and scrounge more money from me (her other childs father is a deadbeat who never paid a penny).

I’m having nothing to do with the child, he won’t have my name/s and I won’t be in the birth certificate.

I’ve arranged to make payments with her just so that she doesn’t go to the csa, but it’s there anyway to avoid paying either? I have this invisible debt for 18 years and its incredibly depressing and stressful.

CSA will say one thing and then do the opposite!

January 6, 2017

After splitting with my partner I contacted csa to set up child support payments at the time the mother wasn’t letting me see the child. I went to court and gained access to my child. I paid maintance until I was made redundant in 2007 which I rang csa and informed them and was told I didn’t need to pay maintance. I informed the csa when I started work again I received a letter in 2008 informing me how much I needed to pay and they would contact me which they never did. Due to not being contacted I came to an aggrement that I would buy my child clothes, shoes and school uniform or anything he needed. I then received a letter informing me I was in arrears I rang csa and told them I had a agreement to buy him what he needed. I was told they would have to speak to the mother. I was also asked for her address and contact number as they had never been able to contact her. I never heard from them so carried on with the agreement. Then I receive a letter 2016 informing me that I am in a lot of arrears. I telephoned csa and was told that they had never been able to contact the mother and had sent letter, text and phoned. She had for the first time contacted them after recieving a letter saying she was owed money. I’m not saying I don’t owe any money but the amount they are saying is just ridiculous. There are certainly misdeminers why have the csa not contacted me sooner as they have all my details sooner and have let it get so serious. Why has the pwc never contacted them (was quite happy with arrangenment). When you phone they seem to divert and not answer questions. I also have a young child with my current partner but because I didn’t contact them they won’t backdate the reduction but yet when pwc has never contacted them they will backdate.

CSA act and no-one is accountable for incorrect actions

January 5, 2017

I was paying maintenance under a court order from 1991. They now say I owe £50838.65.

As you will see from the following log from the CSA system that they haven’t exactly been hasty in dealing with my case. Given the sum of money involved it is reasonable to expect details of the alleged arrears considering I was paying maintenance through the courts.

The information below is from my case file and shows they haven’t a clue what they are doing.

3 October 1993 – A letter was sent to me at XXX, however I was not residing at that address as I was renting property at XXX and did not receive it.
23 March 1996 – It is recorded that the IMA was incorrect as there was a court order in place prior to the CSA calculation.
15 December 1996 – It is recorded that IMA effective date was incorrect due to a court order being in place.
9 April 2002 – CSA wrote to court regarding the court order.
12 April 2002 – CSA received letter from court stating that the court order was still in place until Childs 17th Birthday.
6 June 2002 – Received letter stating IMA liaison team would investigate all aspects of the case.
20 February 2003 – Met with a face to face officer and went through my case in great detail. I explained I had been complying with a court order. Officer said he would get back to me but never did. No from this meeting, and no further action?
2 January 2006 – J Harrison closed the case.
1 August 2007 – Logged, case closure due to child benefit no longer in payment.
14 August 2007 – Received letter confirming case was closed.
20 August 2010 – Logged case closed by case pilot team 2 Kirkaldy, take no further action.
14 October 2010 – Received letter stating they are reinstating the arrears. Letter also said they decided not to collect due to my circumstances at the time. My circumstances did not change so why would they reinstate the arrears.
14 October 2010 – Received letter stating legal action would be taken if I did not pay the arrears.
21 October 2010 – I contacted the CSA and spoke to Susan Johnson who told me she would investigate my case and get back to me, although she never did. Nobody attempted to enforce payment of alleged arrears.
5 September 2011 – Recorded that IMA was never converted.
23 March 2012 – Recorded that liability end applicant does not wish to continue claim.
5 September 2015 – Received letter stating that I owe £50,838.65 in arrears. Contacted CSA again and was told they will investigate and let me know the outcome.
23 November 2015 – Contacted CSA again and was told they will investigate and let me know the outcome.
12 September 2016 – Received letter from CMS stating I owe £50,838.65. I Contacted CMS and was told that I need to take it up with the CSA as CMS do not have access to my records.
6 December 2016 – Received further letter from CMS telling me to set up standing order for a payment plan of £20.00 per month.
12 December 2016 – Contacted CSA to explain CMS had referred me back to CSA. I was advised to ring CMS back and ask what the CSA are supposed to do given all my files are with CMS.
12 December 2016 – Contacted CMS and was advised to put the reasons why I am disputing the arrears, in writing.

It would appear nobody within CSA is certain whether I am liable for arrears or not so the passed it to CMS anyway. The alleged arrears relate to my daughter who is now 28 years old.

I have written to them but don’t hold much hope as they are not held to account .
