Advice sought on CSA arrears

Also your DNA problem:


What happens if parentage is disputed after we work out child maintenance?

If someone denies that they are the parent after we have worked out child maintenance, they must provide evidence that they are not the child's parent.
We will only accept 'conclusive' evidence. This evidence could be DNA test results or a court declaration that the person is not the child's parent. This is called a 'declaration of non-parentage' or in Scotland a 'declorator of non-parentage'.
Once we have made a calculation, the person named as the parent of the child will have to pay child maintenance until they provide proof that they are not the actual parent. If they then deny they are the parent and provide evidence that they are not, we will refund child maintenance payments made for that child from the date we received information from them telling us that they denied they are the parent.
We do not have to pay back any child maintenance they paid for that child before they denied that they are the parent.

Real, Real, Real long story with CSA, ex wife told ME she had an affair, took the kids to the other end of the country without my knowledge, stole £8000 from the bank before she left, always been honest and paid regular maintenance to CSA for last 5 years. Ex told me one of the children isn't mine, do the CSA CARE? That isn't the point - it is written into the legislation the circumstances under which they must assume parentage, and unfortunately, yours fits the bill, so the onus is on you to prove that you are NOT the father and that means you must get it done privately. That isn't the fault of the staff, who may well care, but it doesn't change anything of course not, their response, you better get a solicitor, your name is on birth cert, AS I TRIED to explain, you don't need to be present to register a birth if you are married and it didn't exactly crop up in the delivery suite!! Going for DNA, very costly £700 quid to date, and now the leech wants a reassessment, jesus, payments gone from £41 to £91 p/w with arrears which they want me to clear at an extra £61 p/w because it has taken them so long to pull their fingers out. Do you think it costs her £91 p/w to support them, do you honestly think that over £180 are being spent on them per week?? Probably not, but it is totally linked to your income, so the more you earn, the more you pay unfortunately; it isn't linked to the actual costs of bringing up a child as this cannot be quantified as it will differ from household to household. NO ov course not, we have to also pay towards PWC bills and leachie lifestyle!! Am I meant to have a life, pay bills, ever live again and provide for another family?? Obviously not because your not meant to have a mortgage, pay bills, have a nice car, go on holidays or treat yourself ever again!! They are the rudest people I have ever spoke too, they don't give a damn, it makes you seriously want to give up work, live in council house and sponge off the government, that way you'd have more money. Do I mind paying, ov course not, I DO MIND being treated like an idiot and spoken to like a dirty drop out that doesn't provide for his kids when I am struggling and geniunely asking for some relief. There are ways that you can make a formal complaint against a member of staff - they are supposed to give their names when you speak to them, so it should be easy enough. Jesus the government even help you out when your house is on the verge of repossession, what help do you get from CSA?

ANYWAY really would like anyone to be able to answer this?? Do the CSA pass to the PWC 100% of contributions, I asked CSA and they assured me they do, asked for written confirmation, shock horror they can't provide it but its on website. Must be on the page marked invisible information that you can't see with the human eyes!! I heard it 30p out of every £1????

Unless the PWC is on benefits, they will pass on every single penny they receive from the NRP. If the PWC is on benefits then the PWC keeps the first £20 per week and the rest is offset against the benefits they receive. This is soon to change so that they keep both maintenance AND benefits, which in my view is a BIG mistake,

What if the payments are more than the benefits the PWC receives?

You've asked this before. Then they wouldn't be eligible to claim benefits and their source of income would be the CS.

blimey40

Don't think I have, apologies all the same if I have.

Loopy_Girl

Maybe it wasn't you then - somebody has fairly recently and I was pretty certain it was you....am sorry if it wasn't!

Anyways, answer still the same:D

Hi y'all, remember me? I'm feelin' like my thread has been hi-jacked, hehehe.

1) Can, as of April 2009, CSA include pre-2000 arrears in a LO as shown on NACSA site news? Arrears arose while living in Scotland, but now resident in England.

2) Can I sue Mr Connor for libel for stating to my MP in a letter that my claim had not been re-assessed because I had started employment, when I hadn't, and had provided evidence to that effect to the CSA which was not allowed due to time limitations on evidence?

3) Are the CSA likely to issue LO and enforce it when I have had no earnings since Aug 2000 and no assets. My wife is sole earner, working fulltime, and I am househusband and carer for our two young children? I have had letter warning legal action. I have had legal letters before and debt collectors letters before. Previously I wrote, explain circumstances, and then it goes quiet for another year, but I'm getting really f****d off with them especially since my health has deteriorated.

Action taken:

I have sent a letter to Mr Martin Connor requesting evidence to substantiate his claim that I had started employment in September 2000.

My wife has sent a letter (having previously sent letter authorising her to act in my name), stating our present circumstances, advising of possible libel action in respect of correspondence sent to my MP and that anyone who continues making those allegations may also be sued, advising that a complaint will be made to the ICE and Parliamentary Ombudsman, and querying the arrears and the regulations surrounding the pre-July 2000 arrears.

All correspondence sent by fax with copies forwarded by recorded delivery. The faxed copies have been acknowledged and my wife has been advised that the case has been forwarded from Kirkcaldy CSA to the Complaints Resolution Team in Falkirk.

I'll let you know how we get on.

if the pwc was not on income support then the whole amount you pay is passed on to the pwc.

Its not up to them to provide proof. You have to provide conclusively proof to them.

Saying no NI contributions is not enough
