I was given a three-month limit but I’m still waiting
Hello, I’m a single mum with three children. I was having issues with the father of my children regarding their maintenance. He would deduct money from the maintenance when he felt like it so I eventually got to a point where I’d had enough and thought I would go through csa to help me get what is rightfully for my children.
It seemed like a very straightforward case and was given a 3 month limit for all paperwork etc to be sorted out. However 4 months later I am still waiting for the first payment to be put into my account, I am really furious at the fact that it is taking so long to get the maintenance for my children and given the fact it is close to Christmas I don’t know when and if I will be able to buy them presents this year.
They had to start the school year without the maintenance money and they are in need of winter clothing amongst other things. I am really disgusted at how such a straightforward case is taking so long to get sorted out and I’m wondering if coming through the csa was a big mistake!

well done for introducing yourself and your ex partner to hell.
on one hand you say how are you going to buy them presents that’s not what the maintenance payments are for because im sure your not going to put his name on those present are you ?.
the payments is what you go onto say they need in next its to keep them warm and clothed and fed
Why don’t you get of your ass be get a job
who said she doesnt have a job???
Sick of reading spiteful comments where people always assume PWC are going through the CSA because they cant be arsed to work and expect free handouts. NOWHERE in that passage does she say she works / doesnt work!! She may not but who cares. The child is entitled to money either way. I work and earn a decent wage but it took 2 people to create my child so 2 people should support him!!!! Theres just no need to be rude!!!
I pay mine …………ooooocccccchhhhh
And I still ha e my kids as much as possible …. It’s money your kids will appreciate you more for your time ?????
Tracy Jaxx everyones story is different but cash is not as important as contact with both parents. I have lost my home due to csa deductions. Now i cannot afford to travel 400 miles round trip to see them. And he ( my ex) gets 500 a week in benefit plus 40 percent of my wages so an extra 100 a week is that fair. I an paying for my kids and have no problem with that even if i have lost my home. However do u really believe that tax payers should also be paying for my kids as well ???
Yes Jolene everyones situation is different. My point was it took two children to make a child why shouldbt two people pay to bring them up?? I work and so does my ex, I’ve paid for my son for 2 years now with hardly any help from his father. How is that fair??? While he dad floays around doing all sorts of shit!!!! all I was sayibg is BOTH parents should pay and that assuming that all us PWC dont Work is quite frankly bollocks!!!!
get a job and buy them yourself then …
You shouldn’t rely on maintenance soley and csa do state this….but shame on your ex if he’s being an arse, do you have contact with him or has going to the csa caused more of a break down?
Csa should take 12 weeks but that’s if the
nrp is being compliant or if they’ve even bothered to look at your case if it’s become difficult. Write to them to find out what’s causing the hold up, I’d advise that you never ring them.
Are you also getting everything you are entitled to where you shouldn’t have to rely on your ex?
