Child benefit no longer payable but CSA still being paid
We know that Child Benefit is no longer being payable for my husband's child who is now 18. The 'child' has been working on some sort of apprenticeship for more than 12 months, and was being paid a wage but has never attended college as far as we know as part of the course. The 'child' also moved out of the mother's home…

CSA assessment incorrect
I get paid a salary calendar monthly and the CSA have just come back to me with a re assessment. They calculated this from a monthly payslip I submitted. I have two children so am obliged to pay 20% of my net salary. Without going into details about figures, they have actually calculated my monthly payment to be 22% of my…

Getting back with ex...
Hi, I left my ex around ten years ago. He still owes me CSA payments. He recently proposed to me, and I said yes. Will the CSA still chase him for the arrears?

Bettering myself is better for my ex!
When I separated from my ex, some 13 years ago, I was on a substantially lower wage than I am now. While I don't begrudge a single penny I pay towards my son's upbringing, in working hard, long hours and bettering myself and moving up the career ladder, I now pay more in maintenance than most working families earn in a…

CSA not taking money out of my bank??
My OH has 2 children from his previous marriage which we pay child maintenance for. We have been paying CM for over a year as we were giving PWC £100 a week for the 2 children. The motheR decided to go through CSA as she thought that she could have more money from us. She had a shock when it came back that we should only…

Ex has a partner. She works full time and earns a descent wage (actually similar job to me). Her income is not included in…

How long to get case records?
++ I was speaking a CSA operative about my change of circumstances when I started work (middle of March) and I enquired about what arrears were on my account. She told me there was £254 but she was unable to tell me where they had come from. She said that she could send me my entire case records so I could look for myself…

Nice try but the answer is no..!
++ Just had a new assessment letter through the post. They've notified me about what I'll be paying in maintenance after my most recent change of circumstances. They then go on to tell me that I'll be paying a phased amount from now until 2018.. However I've already had 5 years of phasing from 2007 to 2012 to get me from…
