A Confident Address

What constitutes a "confident" address?

An address the CSA has decided you are living at and is sending your mail. It usually applies to NRP's who are of no fixed abode or living abroad.

The police call it a last known address and its usually derived from what is known by a credit agency, financial institution or Land Registry. It can be a parent or a family member but interestingly never the PWC address even though you name is on the bills and council tax & voting register.

The CSA have to go by 'confident address' because non jurisdiction and hostel/shelter accommodation addresses are not suitable for serving an NRP with documents.

A 'confident address' is not a qualifying address in the meaning of Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978. The term is exclusively used by the CSA.

Well, thats funny.

My confident address must be with the "PWC" address. They have simply based the "confident address" of a friend on the say so of my ex. No land registry or credit agency.

Your data files might show what evidence the CSA used to construe a confident address. If your is the same as the PWC then the CSA is contradicting Section1(c) of the Child Support Act 1991. Only absent parents are liable.

The data files, show nothing under the "confident address" used by them !1

At tribunal, have a signed tenancy agreement ready, the judge will ask the CSA what basis they construed you to be living at a confident address, and proof to the contrary scuppers it.

This is not always true. CM can be payable through the CSA even if both parents are still living in the same house.

A voluntary arrengement where he pays her but via the CSA while living together?

I can see enforcement being a problem and housing costs becoming unstuck.

Don't think it can, can it Mark? For a CSA case to proceed there has to be an NRP..and if the other parent is in the same house then he/she is not 'non resident'.

Section 3 of the Child Support Act 1991 would concur with that position.

Do you know I had my suspicions about who you were LSC and that above posting has just confirmed it.

Welcome back;)
