Got reply from Mp they can not go for current or the other arrears as this would be seen as harrassment ! So she gets till 2011 to pay off 2006 she has now started to dictate to us when she wants the kids even though the kids don't want go we have been asked to persuade them and she didn't turn up for them this weekend. We wrote and asked if she could pay for some school shoes and trousers £37.00 we had a reply saying that this was expensive and she would pay some towards if we were hard up, we paid for all the uniform bags shoes at the beggining of term over £300. Is there no justice? any help or ideas please!

No advice ,i just feel for your situation.Contact to their mum is vitally important for their own mental health in the long term ,but having to force them into contact can t be either.It really sounds like you can t win any way you go.:(
MP s are not worth our taxes the majority of the time.:mad:

How can it be harrassment to ask the NRP to pay the amount DUE every week???? Sure arrears are negotiated, but she still legally must pay the weekly amount. It doesn't stop the CSA from constantly contacting NRPs, nor does it seem to affect the bailiffs but only the collections agency?? It isn't the collections agency who are dealing with current maintenance - that is the CSA and it is their job to make sure that the NRP pays the weekly amount due PLUS arrears - many NRPs are paying 40% of their net income and then facing court action if the arrears are not recoverable within 2 years, so why is it any different when arrears are passed to a colllections agency?

This cannot be correct, surely. It seems to me that it doesn't matter whether it's the CSA themselves, or any outside organisation doing it, if it's really harassment, I should imagine every single NRP with any arrears will be claiming the same thing and bringing the system to a complete standstill. Now there's a thought ...

I cannot possibly believe this is correct.

id be extremely surprised if this is correct

this is what we are being told by mp and csa they said she should be willingly paying current joke i know, they can't make her pay the current till she has finished paying 2003-2006 i have asked for the files but no joy yet or in getting the reassessment done i am ring weekly and have asked mp to find out i am going to ask mp to find out how come she has been given all this time to pay anybody know where else we can try

YOu need to ask them how they are able then to make NRPs pay 40% of their net income which includes current maintenance plus arrears. If as Mr GG says, it is true, then it would imply that the CSA must freeze all current maintenance and only collect arrears and then start again as all current maintenance would then in turn become arrears??? I would be asking them how it only seems to apply to cases where arrears are referred to a collections agency, and not any other method.

i have just spoke to csa after all this time and they said there was nothing they could do they are now looking at getting the case back from the dca. It just shows if you don't go away keep to your guns you might have a chance. saying that i haven't got a result yet, i have asked what this would mean and they said they would be able to go for arrears and current! fingers crossed and after lots of calls and letters to MP and the head of csa

I contacted the CSA they will do nothing she can continue to pay her £25 a week for her 2003 -2006 arrears this we have worked out she will be finished paying in 2011. My last resort is try No 10 its one rule for one and one for another i can't even an answer on the reassessment they will only tack this back to NOV 08 even though we have asked them to go further back
All i got from my local Mp was it would be seen as harrasement if they went for current aswell.

On the bright i have a wonderful partner soon to be my wife and we have 4 children we love and bring us so much happiness and no money could ever replace that
