I’ve not received a payment since 1999 and CSA still won’t act!
I put in a claim when my son was 6 weeks old..(1995) hes now almost 21 and im still waiting !!!
Other than a period of 6 months in 1999 there has been no payments what so ever even though my ex has always worked full time…
they put an AOE on him in 1999 hence the 6 ish payments he then left the job and They dropped the AOE ??? they have since spent the last 15 years doing nothing… at one point it went to the bayliffs… they knocked on his door he wasnt home and they never went again.
To add insult to injury because my son is almost 21 the case has now been closed with arrears of £14,262.33… so i was finally hopeful that something would be done… I WAS WRONG
Ive now been informed that they cant start recovery until 10th June 2016 ????
My argument is I have always worked and as a single mother that money would have made our lives so much easier… but i still believe if i had been sitting on my backside claiming benefits so all the money would have gone to the government they would have gotten that money.
i want to take this further so any advise would be gratefully received.

This is it hun.. Chase the good guys that pay to death and leave those who can’t be chased to their own devices .. Hope it works out for you.
I hope you resolve this…I was in a similar situation.
My ex didn’t and wouldn’t pay a penny towards the support of our son.
Despite the fact he was originally a Police officer and later in other employment. I was told “we can’t trace him”.
I gave up in the end.
I think they chase the good men / the easy targets!
Actually, it doesn’t seem to matter whether you are claiming benefits or not.! They’re still incompetent when it comes to arrears. I had to finish work due to chronic illness & claimed ESA & housing benefit. My ex stopped my daughter’s maintenance payments. Arrears total thousands. I would at least have been able to pay my own rent if they had helped us. Despite giving info to them to help them track him down the only response I eventually got from them was that they couldn’t explain anything to me because of data protection. It seems that data protection is more mportant than protecting my daughter from poverty….!!!
If your son is 21 years old, why would you need money to maintain him now?
