I don’t know what to do anymore
Good morning, sorry to ask, but i’m in an absolute quandary.
The CSA are now demanding £43 + £43.91 (arrears) a week for my 17 yr old son. I still see my son as regular as his busy social life dictates.
And because of the financial difficulty my ex left me in, and subsequent payments to the CSA over the past few years. And with other financial commitments, included fighting eviction notices last month.
I really am not in a very good position to be paying so much money out. I did an online help page for finances, and as it stands i am already spending £450 a month, more than i take home, just to survive. And that’s not even having any kind of social life, or eating every day.
Ive had the phone cut off, i cannot afford my mobile, so that has stopped. I go without food in the week just to pay household bills, and keep some by for when my son stays with me. And the CSA just wont take any of that into consideration, they only listen to her stories, and she is now a very wealthy widow!!!
I just don’t know what else to do, i don’t sleep, i cry all the time, and i miss my son all the time.

Csa dont care at all
Hi join csa
Hi join csaripoffs on facebook, introduce yourself and join the fight, it’s not easy but we need to fight together and support each other.
Introduce yourself to the group and tell us your problems with CSA and advice will be freely given.
Good luck,
Woody
They are not bothered they don’t care what happens to you they only want your money. Heartless uncaring monsters the CSA I’d kill myself before doing their job.
Contact mp
Can you go self employed ?
You are not alone.
Best of luck!
To i don’t know what to do anymore
I am a disabled woman in the same boat as you. I know its usually women who claim from the csa as the resident parent but due to my disability our roles are reversed except my 2 youngest are aged 13 & 17 and they stay with me 3 nights a wk. This whole system discriminates against men and its disgusting !! I too am left without food and electricity at times due to what i have to pay the csa but ive gone to my MP and i have to say when he heard what was happening to me he was very angry. He took my case straight to the head of csa and to government ! Result is my payments are cut way back to what they should have been, im not facing eviction anymore and without all thr stress my healths a bit better. I urge you to go and see your MP it really can help. Good Luck
My partner and I have full custody of his son we have done for over two years now, social workers are involved with the childs mother, at the last review four months ago I raised the question of why we didn’t receive any child support as The mother is now on her fourth child. We were told by social workers “because she doesn’t get to make direct decisons in the childs life she doesnt have to pay maintenance”so to any parents out there paying CSA a Leeds Social worker made this statement so tell the CSA that the next time they ask you for money tell them to contact myself and ill tell them exactly who they need to speak to!!!
