Gone to County Court

Just a quick update on where I am.

CSA are pretty similar to the British banks/ a law unto themselves.

4 letters

CSA letter August 2008 please pay £48,000 in 7 days
CSA letterOctober 2008 further to our recent letter, we ask you to pay £48,000!!
Csa Letter December 2008 we will be seeking a liablity order with outstanding arrears (no figure given) please contact us to sort this matter out before we apply for a Liability order hearing on Jan 20th.

County Court letter Feb 20th 2009, the LO has been granted for £16,000 and we hearby grant xxxxx magistrates court to obtain the outstanding amount.

So CSA wanted £48,000, they are getting £16,000. I am left with the task of sorting out a payment plan and I'm not too sure if I can negiotitae this with the county court, as I won't do anything with the CSA, who have totally abused there powers. I have paid my daughter through her school years after being not much of a dad in her early years.

All it would have taken would have been a letter in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, not 2008 !! Its okay saying you should tell them of change of circumstances, which I did more then once in 1997. When you have a work employee turnover where a third leave the CSA within the 1st year, you are going to have problems.

For two years, I was looking after a sick grand-child and could not work full-time, but still paid my daughter into her account.

i'm hoping now the judgement has been made, I can at last sort it out and reach an amicable way of paying arrears, that should not have been there in the first place.

  • It may have been that the debt is owed from prior to 2000 which is why the debt is lower, or that the LO only covers a shorter specific period?
    Nothing to see here :beer:

    I'm guessing your right.

    I was just pointing out, if I had contacted them straight away back in August 2008 they would have been intent in claiming it all back.

    Don't understand why the I have a confirmation from the County Court, when it was a magistrates court who permitted the Liability order. This letter today is actually "Order of recovery of award"
