My case was closed in 2000 so why are they demanding £890 in arrears?

August 5, 2013

I have had a letter demanding £890 arrears that I was not aware of. My case was closed in the year 2000. They said the audit show that I never cleared arrears and I should pay.
When the case closed they sent me a cheque for £149 as I had over paid and they would not contact me again. Does the time frame mean anything.

    Demand to see a breakdown of all payments you have made years ago, after a case is closed they cannot chase you, when you start demanding they will leave you alone, tell them to take a running jump for it, it’s the staffs way of making bonuses and targets up as they go along, this way Ian Duncan smiths target of £3.8 billion of false arrears is replayed to the Secretary of State this is not unusual at all, seems to be happening a lot lately

    Ask them, quote The Data Protection Act, for a copy of your “AUDIT” report and quote the letter they sent you plus ask them for THE NAME of the Auditors concerned. Files being audited by the CSA are far and few between it is done, from knowledge, on a random sample. With this knowledge and you reconciliation breakdown(free on request) from the start date of your case you will be in a stronger position to make a formal complaint. Take a special note of when the audit was done on your case as I have a feeling it will not have been done recently.

    Hi Peter Xavier Gibson. Sadly no debt owed to the CSA is “Statute
    Barred” even to the extent they can continue to pursue an outstanding debt after death from the estate or nearest relatives, which ever applies under the circumstances

    Tell them in simples terms to fuck off in short sharp jerky movements, Also mention that this is fraud, They are used to the word now as they are riddled with it, They are all pathological liars, Only care about there bonus and targets, If you are contacted by them name and shame the staff member concerned and instigate fraud procedings,

    Visit your MP with all paperwork including the one informing you your case was closed. ensure your MP takes photocopies and does not keep the originals – he probably ‘mislay’ them.
    Best of luck and I hope you make a formal complaint.
