The CSA threatened to take my house
During my time with the CSA I have had no end of errors and irregularities with them, this culminated with a £20,00 arrears bill. I questioned them about the alleged arrears and as if by magic they reduced to £10,000. This was money I could ill afford and as I have never missed a payment I found it hard to believe.
The CSA threatened to take my house and they stated the balifs would be take possetion within a week if the bill was not paid in full. I aranged a loan with the bank to pay the bill. I also arranged an appeal. Which was a complete waist of time as the judge stated she had no authority over arrears, so basically the CSA can use any anomilies they come up with and call them arrears and they know that the individual has no right of redress. This all happened in 2008, now again they say I owe another £1500 despite again never missing a payment. Recently after a long illness where I recieved only SSP the CSA also calculated that I was to pay £17 per week and on top of that a further £30 in areears, as I was only getting £66 SSP this left me very little to live on.
I feel that the evidence I have over the 17 years or so dealing with the CSA they are a law unto themselves, they have little regard for anyone and see us absentee parents who pay regularly, and on time as easy targets to prop up those people who either claim more than they should or those who do not pay what they should. I am at my whits end and up to my eyes in debt and for one reason only the CSA!
I have lost 3 good friends to suicide and know that the CSA had a great deal to do with the reasons for their deaths. As an ex soldier who served in the Gulf and Bosnia conflicts I was afforded more respect from my enemies than any individual I have dealings with in the CSA, this also includes the Minister in charge who had complete diregard for my comments.
I believe that the CSA has no one watching them or auditing thier behaviour and because of that they can behave in the way they do, and untill someone of authority stops them how much more blood on thier hands will they have?

The child support agency were given possession of my house because of my (now ex) partner’s alleged arrears owed to the CSA. I am a joint proprietor of the house (which incidentally was mine soley until I let idiot in on the mortgage) and so I was evicted along with my daughter who is under 16, and we are now homeless, but expected to pay the mortgage and interest on a house we no longer have control of. The CSA are planning to give his share of the equity to the mother of his son (who is now an adult) at the expense of me and my child who have lost everything and are now homeless with uncertain futures! Thank you CSA, may Karma prevail!
