Giving daughter a gift, stopping my money
My daughters father has been saving money for her since birth, she is now 18 and he has said because he is giving her this money she is now self sufficient and he is stopping the money he gives me (we have a mutual agreement, but it is no where near the amount he should pay) I feel like I am basically being ripped off. It…

Reassessment query!
Hi, I'm about to be reassessed as the NRP under CSA1 and looking for advice if possible. I have rather unconventional housing costs or at least the payment of such ie not my mortgage and it would'nt be regarded as rent but i do pay my proportion. Not sure how to express my housing costs to the CSA. I would also rather not…

CSA old rules - working out housing costs as part of exempt income
please can someone advise me, the following is from the csa old rules calculator For non-resident parents, the housing cost that count towards their exempt income are normally up to £80 a week or half their Net Income - whichever is higher. This is the amount we normally include even if their actual housing costs are…

Liability no longer in force
The letter I received says the liability for child maintenance is no longer in force as the PWC has told us they no longer want to application or case to continue Now is this the same as a closed case? I think PWC is going to use the 13 week loophole and reopen under csa2 after 13 weeks but they don't use the word closed…

CSA backdated question
Hi, i'm very puzzled at the minute me and my partner split up a few years ago (we are still on good terms) and my ex received a letter (about 2009 i think) saying that the CSA are doing an assessment and they will get back to him and it was about 3 or 4 days later that they got back to him saying that he has has to pay nil…

New Schedule & Overpayments - best to check first.?
++ I received my new payment schedule and standing order instruction form through the post yesterday and it made for some interesting reading... The last letter I had said they had assessed me for £30 a week (which is what I was expecting) but the schedule is slightly different... I have to pay 1 month at £150.02 and then…

Csa start date
Can anyone tell me if it is written in stone that CSA payments are due from the time the NRP receives the assessment forms? Are there any circumstances when this would not be the case? Many thanks

CSA made a mistake....REALLY!
Hi everyone, Bit of background - I have never shirked away from paying for my daughter and stupidly overpaid for a lot of years. Pre 2006 payments were always made directly to my ex-wife, then she decided to go to the CSA. From April 2006 until May 2010 payments were made through the CSA. From May 2010 onwards we went back…

change of circumstances..
Hiya, My husband contacted CSA that his oldest son was not returning to full time education in September and asked them to adjust the payments as necessary. Csa then contacted my husband stating that they would contact child support (benefit family tax credits?) to confirm to see if his ex-wife had informed them of the…

Should NRP Outgoings be Taken into Account?
Evening all! Some of you may know that I am having some issues with my NRP, but that is what it is. I'm not asking this question to talk about me, but rather to hear people's opinions and perhaps foster some respectful debate... Should the NRP's outgoings be taken into account when making a maintenance calculation? What…

CSA Efficiency @ it's best.
So as many of you know, i have always had battle with the CSA, from getting an injunction against them to them applying for an LO by using dubious methods... Well the saga continues, and they continue to make themselves look incompetent and stupid...!!! Today, i received a notice of pending court action by the CSA to…

Nobody wins with the CSA....
Over the last few years my assessments have been 'NIL', however I had arrears which I was paying off each month @ £30pm. Recently my employer received a DoE order for 40% of my wage, when I took into account what it costs me to go to work in childcare and petrol I actually could not afford to carry on working and had to…

Can I go through CSA my ex self employed
My ex does pay maintenance but I know it is no where near 15% of his income. Does any one know how the CSA will access a case where a nrp is self employed. I am guessing they would just go on the money he 'declares' which will be the wrong figure, he also does work on the side etc and has a good account who makes sure the…

FINALLY - My assessment is complete :)
I just had a phone call to tell me that my assessment has been done. The relief is immense. I didn't even ask when to expect payments. I was just happy it was done, finally. :T My ex is going to be raging as he now has to pay me an extra £100 a month. We did have a private agreement that had been working fine for over 8…
