DP Files - still not received in full 7 months on

bdt1

Hi,

Applied for DP File, to include all info, bank statements, Criminal Compliance files, and telephone, maual/computer info etc etc in early Sept last year.

Received incomplete file in Jan 09, way past 40 day deadline - CSA stataed 'sorry for exceeding 40 day target' - strange thought it was a legal deadline!!!

Received today a package via recorded delivery more details - 7 months on - but guess what??????? Still no tel ephone transcripts or bank stataements etc etc.

Wondering if any solicitor will take on case as 7 months after initial request CSA have still not provided all info as per Data Protection Law, anyone had any experience with taking CSA to Court for this.

In same vein, CSA taken us to Court, gained LO , CCJ, adn only today found out applied for Charge Order, on a debt, we are awaiting to prove via Tribunal - even CSA Rep in Appeals said we don't owe the money and assessment totally based without any fact - we have evidence - and would love opportunity to get in front of Tribunal to prove so.

Sorry to bore veeryone, but they took my child benefit for 4 kids, my Co expenses as NRPP, CSA monies for my 2 sons (NRP step kids), and tax credits as NRP 'assessible income', we have all bank statements, plus statements from Child benefit office,, my employer etc etc.

Cried all day - again - as our home at risk - and that of 4 kids - to pay 2 children a adebt we have and CSA staff admit does not exist, not got it in writing so suppose that's why no phone transcripts - that and fact we also been told our bank statements 'missing never to be seen again' by CSA Rep.

They just never cease to amaze,, and just to add, we are paying a weekly amount, but they say we owe 34k, as my child benefit, tax credits factored into hubs (NRP) assessable income - it's mad - I might laugh at disbelief if it wasn't happening to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt you will get telephone transcripts as they don't keep them. They are literally only used for training purposes and not kept for any other purpose. Most aren't kept at all. It isn't like the tax credits where they are kept.

Stay strong and try not to let them get you down. I found out today, they assessed me when I was not even working. I checked when the assessment started with them today, I can prove I wasn't even work at that time through tax records. How they came to £100 odd a week is beyond me? Not only that, they wait 12 years to let me know. Then, its £42,000 arrears through the door AND its 7 days to pay, baliffs letters etc.

I do have a solictor but he is a friend and doing it for free for me. If I get any advice along the way, i will try and help

It sounds like you are further down the road in terms of waiting for DATA Protection Files and my breakdown is not a breakdown at all. Its put together by a 17 year old and just an extension of pages, that could be on one page. They say the mainteanace assessment team will be in touch in due course.


Family and close friends to you ARE VERY important. You've done nothing wrong and in the long run justice will be done.

Blimey, can you prove that they were told that you weren't working at the time? If so, then you have a good case, if not, then you will have a major fight on your hands.

yes,

Assessment 1997.

P45 (parts 1,2 and 3) records show to 11/96 and nothing to 2002. I had to not work, looking after a sick grand-child with second family. I originally split with my ex 1986.

They have assessed me at £103 since 1997 to 2005. How, I do not know?

My daughter is 24 this year.

As I said before first letter in 2008 indicating arrears.

Yes but have you got proof you actually told the CSA you were not employed at the time ?

blimey40

What would consitute proof?

I've not heard from them between 1997 and 2008.

Yes, they were told.

I suspect what kelloggs is getting at is that if you can't prove you told them at the time you will have a hard slog getting that period reassessed.

The CSA argument will be how can they change an assessment if they were not made aware of a change of circumstance at the time. Getting the figures changed may be unlikely to happen as the burden is on you.

blimey40

Assessment was done a full 9 months after I left employement. I understand your point, but I did get a nil assessment I still have that, from letters and conversations CSA knew at the time, I was not working.

it took them 12 years to send a letter. Only had to send one in that time and I would have confirmed it all and sorted it then. It bad administration from start to finish.

I presumed (wrongly) that I would have no more dealings with them and over time of not receiving ONE letter and then going back to work, paid my daughter directly. If you don't hear from them you presume thats it. You don't automatically think after this time, I better call the CSA esepcially when years have elapsed

is it right, that you should wait 12 years for a letter, when your daughter is actually 23? The first letter received in 2008, says that she was born in 1996 !!!

blimey40

just to add one point, my tax records for 1996 say total pay for year is £7,450 over the 12 months. How can £103.00 be calulated per week to pay?

I just don't get it

kelloggs36

That looks like an IMA figure?
