I agreed to pay £300 a month but now I need to reduce it
I have been split up from my partner since the end of May. Despite getting only £1200 a month I agreed to pay £300 a month towards my son directly to my ex. Now I have come to a point where I need to reduce it to the recommended amount as given by the CSA calculator.
My ex has made things really awkward since I have met someone else and starting 09.08.13, has refused me seeing my son, whom I had for 24 hours each weekend and saw for 2 hours 2 nights a week. She contacted the CSA and they wrote to me requesting me to set up payments from 13.08.13, for £170 per month. Even though I have paid £300 for August already that is not taken into account, neither is the fact that she refuses to let me use any of the equipment or toys or anything that I paid for back when we were together.
Even though I have over paid by £390 in the last 3 months I have to make another payment of £170 for August making this months tally up to £470. Almost half my months wages. Obviously the £170 would be less if I still got to see my son when I wanted to and how I have been every week for the last 3 months and how I intended to going forward. Again, the fact that she is refusing access out of spite because I have met someone new isnt taken into consideration.

Welcome to the world of the CSA, I hope you kept a record of all paymnets that you made to her, Its the norm that contact is stopped due to money, I also hope you kept an audit on what your purchased and also a dates when your son stayed with you, And i also hope that you have not given the CSA scum your bank detials as i can gaurantee they will take more and more, Please feel free to join our face book group csaripoffs,
yep yet another greedy ex that dont like her money going down due to you having moved on with a second family and so the access stops and the demands for more money start another typical case that the csa feeeeeed off and one they got their claws in to you yr doomed
Hi, did you have a court agreement or just pay into her bank? Just wondering if she backdated payments I’m in a similar situation ;(
