Contacting CSA
Hi does anyone know if it is still possible to contact CSA via the government website? All correspondence I have comes from a centre in Wolverhampton which isn't one of the choices listed. Is the Wolverhampton centre new or are they just moving everything to there as they wind down? It is a freepost address too which is a…

Help please
Hi, Child Maintenance have been in contact with me in relation to a Secretary of State debt totalling£3,300. They have contacted my employers to try and deduct £480 per month directly from my wages, which I cannot afford.

CSA chasing arrears that have already been paid

In 2005 my husband received a letter from the CSA to say his case had now closed, however my husband still owed arrears that he would need to continue to pay, which he did. Then in 2006 we got another letter from the CSA to say…

Child support calculations
The scenario is, 2 kids 2 different mothers... How do I calculate child support for this? The gov.uk website says "Based on your answers the child maintenance payment is the basic rate of £26.00 per week. This is the total weekly amount, not the amount per child." Does this mean that's the total amount for both children…

CSA Problems.
I'll try and make a long story as short as possible. I'm currently the NRP and have some arrears. The scheme I'm on is the tiered percentage (15% for one child, 20% for two children and 25% of my net salary for 3 or more children) so I know I pay 25% of my net salary, I'm happy with this. I'm not so happy that the csa…

CSA and Child Benefit won't listen!
For the last 5 years I have followed this forum and seen the nightmare cases. Now unfortunately it's my turn! My 19 year old son left his college course early and his mother did not tell CSA, CB or myself. I found out from his tutor in June that he had last attended in February. I called the CSA to inform them and they put…

How can I force CSA to write off 11 yr Old Arrears Debt?
Hi Folks. Unfortunately got entangled with CSA when PWC got greedy. All water under the bridge. During a period between jobs in 2004 I was advised of "Postponement of Collection" for £240 arrears - seems previous employer cocked-up final payment to CSA when I was made redundant. I am in similar position - between jobs (due…

Child Maintenance Service calculation
Does anyone know how an existing private maintenance agreement will affect the calculation done by the child maintenance service? A parent with care has applied to the CMS for maintenance direct due to non payment, but the non resident parent is paying another parent with care maintenance through a private agreement. Will…

Over payments
Liability for CM ended at the beginning of September 2014 but CSA didn't inform me until mid December so by this time they had taken a further four DD payments and presumably passed to the PWC. Another DD was taken January 2015. I wrote asking for the return of the over payments and the payment taken in January was…
