Do not have sympathy for the PWC

March 6, 2011

My story starts from when I was 15. I got taken in by aunt after my dad died of an heart attack. I was vulnerable and had no-where to go and my aunt started to make advances towards me. What does a kid do? Yes, without going into all the details she had my child when I was 17, she was 10 years older and told me she could never have children. When you are that young, you are nieve to say the least.

The result, I am now supposed to owe £42,000 reduced to £25,000 because the debt cannot go back before the 2000. Did I even know the CSA were being sanctioned against me, did I even get a MEF sent to a correct address, answer is NO. Does it stop the CSA from pursuing me? NO After receving the Data Protection files it shows that they made one communication by letter between 1997-2004. My case closed 7 years ago, yet they require proof of where I was working 10 years ago!! I’ve never claimed JSA or claimed benefit and the DP files show a debt of £5.40 per month, yet they are using an IMA figure because its easier for them to do this whilst not keeping to the facts.

I had a solicitor help me free of charge 3 years ago, when they first started to make contact and I presumed they would stop chasing me. Low and behold if I don’t pay £25,000 in 7 days by a debit or credit card, I could face prison.

I know the reality is that they can only take what I can afford, but thats not the point. I have been living with this nightmare for years now and luckily my other half does all the earning and I get by doing just odd jobs. When I did work, I paid directly unaware of what was going on in the background

So when you read all the sympathy stories from PWC’s bear in mind they are also very manipulative. The fact she was also taking money from me 2002-04 (luckily I have still the correspondance), she never told me CSA were involved or indeed told them she had been receiving private payments, because now I know she was on benefits.

I’m not sure when this nightmare is going to end !!

    Not all PWC’s are greedy and manipulative, I am sick of hearing that and really resent it!

    NRP’s do not have an over powerful ‘monster’ to protect them from the incompetence of the CSA. PWC’s tend t think that the CSA is there to help them and children.

    Truth is that the government wants its’ benefit money back, that it is shelling out, as if there is no tomorrow! Who has complete records of the money being dished out, not the CSA! They are just running riot and picking on defenceless NRP’s, making vast amounts of arrears up and NRP’s are supposed to believe that everything that the CSA say and do is correct. As we all know they are liars and theives!

    As an NRP and PWC I have been on both sides of this dreadful system, which is divisive in its’ interference between parents and children. To the benefit of neither!

    The CSA is doing more damage than good to familes and children!

    The non resident children must be ecstaticin knowing that their parents are being criminalise!

    As Cameron said today! ” Civil servants are enemies of enterprise”!…and enemies of the state. There has to be a re-balancing of human rights and civil liberties to ensure that never again can decent honest people be criminalised, by a bunch of ‘out of control, wheelclampers’!

    This is just typical of the CSA.
    To put it bluntly you were raped and it sounds like you were underage too!

    Did you live with your aunt for sometime helping to bring up the child.
    When did the CSA first get involved? Was it while you were still living with her?

    When did you leave her and did you continue to have contact with your child?
    How are the CSA trying to take money from you? Is it by DEO or have they obtained a Liability Order?

    They didn’t contact you between 1997 and 2004, and the case was closed 7 years ago. Well done getting your DP files, these will be very useful.

    Your case is going to have to be got into the High Court as a Judicial Review. We therefore need to talk more. Where are you in the country? Just making the application should bring matters to a halt. They have quite simply been completely incompetent as is usual.

    Can you answer the above questions, and it would be worthwhile if you could repost your message on CsaHell on Facebook.

    What a horrific story! It must be awful to have to be reminded of what happened so often, and not only that, but to have to pay for it! This woman is a disgrace.

    I have to say though, I agree with Leigh, I’m sick of hearing PWC are greedy and manipulative, we’re not all like that, and I’m getting sick of being tarred with that brush, even though I receive NO maintenance!!!

    Peter Anderson,

    I had no-where to go so had to stay with her until I was 18, then I left.

    That was back in 1987. By the way aunt was 11 years older than me.

    Liability order was already done back in 2009. Had a friend who worked for a firm of solictiors, they stopped hassling and chasing up until about a week ago. They cannot get a DEO on my earnings, I do not own a property or drive a car.

    Yes, I have contact with my child and paid her directly for a number of years. Whilst, I have no statements to prove it, I have kept the correspondance of the payments I made into her account and the conversations that took place

    The DP files clearly indicate that MEF was “probably” never received. I can catergorically say it wasn’t !! It also shows no letters/phone calls. Just corresponadnce between the CSA and the PWC, which is blanked out

    I am based in london. Suspect the a court date will be set soon. Bit reluctant to post on the facebook page, as I communicate with daughter via facebook and its not her fault.

  • Leigh Simmonds says:

    @gambit, I could not agree with you more. Are you on facebook? Perhaps we could swap stories and get our heads together?

  • Peter Anderson says:

    Well done using Facebook to chat with your daughter. If only more fathers would do the same!

    What is this Court hearing? What are they asking for?

    Can you set up another Facebook account and come join us. CsaHell on Facebook is down at the moment so for the moment we are discussing on Against the Csa on Facebook, or if you need help with contact you can go to Separated Dads or Dads with Kids, both on Facebook.

    will do, I wondered why I could not get on.
