Why does the CSA need your NI number?
Why is it impossible to ask the CSA a question without giving them your National Insurance No and date of birth? A general enquiry can general action if you have ever used them for calculations/payslip investigation (but not collection). Just asking a question has meant for me that they recalculate automatically, even when this hasn’t been requested. Also, why is it that being in receipt of one benefit is a get out clause for paying more than £5 per week.
My ex is in receipt of well over £100 in benefits, War pensions, disabililty, and earns more than me and yet he just sends a £5. I am unemployed sick, can I pay a £5?
My advice is, get your advise from Citizens Advise or your local council money advise, not the CSA unless you are happy to hand your life over to idiots.

jeni,
If your ex is receipt of certain benefits (or, net income of £100 or less pw), they may only be liable to contribute the flat rate of £5.
However, if your ex is also in receipt of other income you may be able to apply for a variation to take such into account.
