Arrears. Be aware be very aware.

I believe you can make an 'out of time' appeal within 13 months of any decision, we got our solicitor to write to CSA Appeals Dept requesting a 'general' appeal, they will then contact you regarding grounds for appeal, evidence you may have etc, we then went on to send this to CSA Appeals who now agree with us, our assessment and associated arrears are totally incorrect. But in our case they have referred it to Tribunal as they say they don't have authority to change assessment internally, but of course in meantime they pursue the alleged debt - innocent until proven guilty - think not!!!!! We have proven our innocence CSA Appeals agree, yet still got LO, CCJ and interim charging order for debt we do not owe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 13 month period to appeal is against what?

Must say since getting a lawyer on my case and getting my data protection files, I've not heard a word since April, even though it took them 12 years to write to me in the first place.

They got liabilioty order in january this year, without any notification. They did send out the letters pre-january, but not to my correct address.

An appeal against a decision on a liability order?

Not that I'm aware of, ours was an appeal against a FMA, it was made in Dec 07, but CSA didn't inform us until April 2008, so we had missed the (1 month I think it is) appeal deadline, but in special circumstances you can appeal out of time - ours was granted as CSA didn't produce any evidence that they had informed us prior to April 2008 that a FMA had been made
