  1. OMG! I thought my partner’s debt letter at £49000 was bad!!!

    Get a copy of your file from the CSA, you’ll be amazed what you will find on there that the CSA say they have lost. Only costs £10 and could be well worth it.

    Keep fighting them. We got MP involved and their involvement was really minimal. We have just been successful with an Appeal so worth doing.

    When you were out of work were you in receipt of benefits? If you were then the CSA have to reverse any maintenance assessment in place. That legislation came in in 2010.

  2. and if you are paying arrears of maintenance you can argue with the CSA to have repayments reduced. Although they will initially take 40% of your salary this can be reduced if their is financial hardship in your home. They can’t take into account your wife’s income for this calculation.
