I was told payments would be backdated
Hi I split with my abusive partner when I was 4 months pregnant. My baby was born in September and I contacted the CSA in October to claim child support. (I have no contact at all with my ex.) I phoned the CSA every 2 weeks to keep updated on progress. My ex claimed not to be the father and requested a DNA test. In January he then agreed that he was the father!
Every time I spoke to the CSA they assured me that child support would be backdated to October, when I first made contact with them. This week (January 20th) the CSA contacted me to say that, because my ex has been paying for another child through the CSA, I can only expect payments to start as of January 15th as they cannot retrieve money he has been paying to the other child’s mother. The man I spoke with at the CSA said there is absoloutely nothing I can do to change this as this is how legislation stands.
I was repeatedly told my child support would be backdated. Can anyone help???

Your case has nothing to do with his other ex and im pretty sure through data protection they should not have told you about another child. csa should go from when they first made contact with him in October. Make a complaint via letter and if it isn’t resolved see your mp.
By law they must backdate to the date you contacted the agency. Make a formal complaint and document everything

It should be renamed MSA..Mother Support Agency…its not about child support especially if you’re a man with PR. Women might moan…try being a bloke and deal with these clowns…I gave up a long time ago
Just man up and pay for your kids what’s rong with men now you had the pleasure sick of men I gota pay this and that well a good man will not moan about supporting his kids
I think it’s becos if he has to pay half of what he pays for the other kid now to ur kid they can’t take that money bk from the other mother who’s had full amount it has to be as a new claim and a split amount between two kids
Its backdated to when the agency first make contact with him not when she makes the claim.
@ david….yes most men do pay and support their kids its the way the csa conduct themselves that make it difficult and in some cases how the pwc conduct themselves with stopping access etc to get more money…hence the new system coming into force!….everyone’s cases cannot be made black and white like that.
they well be back data but u well get it in part not all at once
..unlike of course those mothers that just f**k off and don’t stay in touch or contribute emotionally or financially?? Sexist fools like you get right on my t**ts…
