Surely a firm must abide by a deduction of earnings

My payments are collected by deduction of earnings. Yet my payments are constantly late, resulting in numerous phone calls to the Csa.

To be told they can only send a warning letter to the company. Surely a deduction of earnings is a law document that they should abide by?

What about claiming compensation from the company?

I have direct debits coming out of my bank and no money to cover them.

  1. As csa stipulate maintenance is not a means of income, sorry to be blunt but you shouldn’t rely on it and an employer has the 19th of the following month to pass money on and inconsistencies could be a result of nrp earning less in a particular month or csa holding onto the monies for interest.

    You’re already getting your maintenance why persecute further, employer didn’t make the kids.

  2. Child maintenance is exactly that, it is not an income & should not be relied upon for your direct debits etc. It is to support your children’s needs such as clothes, shoes, school stuff etc. Maybe you should consider financial advice to help organise your money & leave the CSA to do their job in collecting the money via DEO for your child/children. Maybe your ex is struggling too & cannot afford the amount the CSA are demanding as I know many NRP’s who have lost their jobs & homes because of outrageous figures & are now ill & unemployed. As for Employers, they also get threatened with fines & court action so I am pretty sure they would be following protocol.

  3. Close your case with the CSA and come to a private agreement with your ex and receive your payments regularly and on time.

  4. More constructive advice Sarah, lol, very bitter!

    OP, Sarah’s advice, stop paying the DD’s, turn off the kids TV, turn off the kids electricity, water and gas, and clearly don’t ‘expect’ anything from the nrp !

  5. Read this. As Yasmin said…it’s not law.

    DEO is a corrupt and illeagal way the CSA collect alleged payments they say are due to PWC from NRP.
    Get your payroll dept or HR to lok at a copy of the Employment rights Act 1996, Part 2, deductions by employer…

    13 Right not to suffer unauthorised deductions.

    (1)An employer shall not make a deduction from wages of a worker employed by him unless—
    (a)the deduction is required or authorised to be made by virtue of a statutory provision or a relevant provision of the worker’s contract, or
    (b)the worker has previously signified in writing his agreement or consent to the making of the deduction.
    (2)In this section “relevant provision”, in relation to a worker’s contract, means a provision of the contract comprised—
    (a)in one or more written terms of the contract of which the employer has given the worker a copy on an occasion prior to the employer making the deduction in question, or
    (b)in one or more terms of the contract (whether express or implied and, if express, whether oral or in writing) the existence and effect, or combined effect, of which in relation to the worker the employer has notified to the worker in writing on such an occasion.

    A DEO is not a staturary provision, Inc tax and national insurance is. also, when your employer also takes the £1 to cover administration just inform them they are making money off the back of your children and thats child trafficking, highly illeagal.

    I agree with Sarah Louise White.

    Spicer dicer …wind your neck…CM is for the kids….end of, and should not be relied on as a source of income for paying direct debits or any other utility. Its for food and clothing and any other luxury items for the KIDS where there might be any monies left. Get a job and pay the other bills as a parent should do. If you have a job? Then get another…that’s the bottom line. The ex’s money should be spent on the kids. EVERY PENNY.
    Gonk

  6. And contributing to basic utilities for the children is not essential for the children? Get a grip.

  7. They are essential to the wellbeing and upbringing of the child(ren) and should legitimately be contributed towards by BOTH parents. Just because the parents split does not absolve the nrp of the need to pay towards ALL costs for those kids.

    Btw i’m commenting as an NRP, contributing painfully through (and fighting) this god forsaken system.
