Is there any way to stop the detachment and take this to court?

July 31, 2013

My ex-wife decided to get the csa involved 2 years ago, after i refused to give her a full months payment when the kids were staying with my mum half of that month.

i paid for dna tests (which is something i always said i would do if she got them involved).

and waited.

and waited.

and waited.

I was then told how much i would have to pay plus arrears, from when the case was first raised – NOT from when the children were proven to be mine.

To cut a long story short, after a year of turmoil caused by my ex wife, my partner and i split up and i relocated.

The ex-wife told me that she would call off the csa, as she knew i wouldnt be able to survive in my own place on minimum wage.

9 months later, there is a detatchment to earnings on my wage…

they did not have the correct address for me (the ex wife has) and because i had not contacted them, in response to letter they put the detatchment in place.

Funny thing is ……

I have had my eldest daughter live with me since February ……

And when they were originally told this, they really didnt give a damn.

i usually earn around £220 per week, as (fool that i am) i believed the ex-wife when she said nothing could be claimed for my daughter.

the detatchment reduces my wage to £160.

this doesnt even cover the household bills.

I have told this to them and they dont care. they said to put in a counter claim against the ex wife. For this i need the child benefit number.

considering they didnt make me aware i could even get child benefit until about 8 weeks ago, and that it can take 14 weeks to have the claim processed, doesnt matter to them.

the fact that they were chasing a frauduleant claim doesnt bother them.

they said they had now re-assessed after speaking with the ex, and had now conceded that my daughter lives with me.

without a chb number? hang on – they can cover themselves against fraud with dicky accounting, but i still cant put a counter claim against the ex-wife using the information they hold?

surely something is VERY WRONG here.

Is there any way to stop the detatchment and take this to court?

i will gladly do that and see what the judge says, as i have kept screen shots of a text conversation between myself and the ex wife where she states she will call them off and we will come to arrangement over any arrears and then changed her mind a month later (too late – now breach of contract), as I have one of my children and the ex wife has the other ….

There answer – NO – PUT IN A COUNTER CLAIM

And if i do, will I get to back date the claim to when i was finally given the right information?

what do you think?
